CHATSWORTH, Calif. — Pipedream Products has hired Raymond Houtenbos as a sales executive for the European market.
Houtenbos says his sights have been set on Pipedream for half a decade.
"It has taken me five years to become an official member of the Pipedream family," he said. "I have known Nick for a great time and am most happy to be representing such a quality selection of brands and support Pipedream's distribution network in Europe."
Houtenbos will operate a small office near Amsterdam, as well as travel to meet with existing customers in Pipedream's expansive distribution network. European customers can now expect to receive the same marketing, promotional and merchandising support as Pipedream's Merch Team provides to customers in the U.S., the company says.
Seasoned with more than 10 years of adult industry experience working at major distributors such as SCALA and DCL, Houtenbos' experience and wisdom is a welcome addition to the Pipedream team.
"Ray is not only a personal friend of mine, he has been an unofficial member of the Pipedream family for several years," said Nick Orlandino, CEO of Pipedream. "Now it's official and we couldn't be more thrilled to have him on our Dream Team. Raymond's experience in the European sector and familiarity with Pipedream brands is just what we need to continue to grow in this market."
