Portland, OR--Specialty loudspeaker manufacturer Triad Speakers has hired Ric Mancuso as sales coordinator, and promoted both Mike Budd and David Bailey to regional sales managers.

According to Triad sales and marketing director Paul Scarpelli, these personnel changes are part of a general restructuring currently underway at Triad to better meet the demands of a 43-percent year-to-date increase in sales for 2004.

Mancuso--formerly of Monster Cable--will work alongside Triad sales and installation veteran Bill Ruark to lead the companys inside sales and dealer and consumer support. Budd will now direct sales of both international and West Coast domestic territories, and Bailey will handle sales of the companys midwest territories.

Triads mission is to continue to provide best-of-breed product offerings, outstanding technical support and customer service for which our dealers have long come to rely upon us, Scarpelli said. Mancusos vast marketing
skills and Budd and Baileys strong product knowledge and dealer relationships bring the additional focus and precision that will be key as our organization continues to grow.
