Henry Alamzad has been named president of Kason Corporation, it was announced by Lawrence H. Stone, Chairman and CEO.

He previously held the position of Vice President Sales and Marketing, USA.

According to Alamzad, innovative engineering will continue to fuel the company’s success.

"Sales of Kason's circular vibratory fluid bed dryers, coolers and moisturizers, grew last year because they outperform other designs costing significantly more," says Alamzad, adding, "Kason's new quick-clean centrifugal screener with three-bearing cantilevered shaft has commanded the majority of our sifter sales and many of our competitors’, so our ads will feature these and other advances that differentiate Kason designs from other manufacturers."

"Continuing on our engineering theme, several new products will be introduced early in 2004," he said.

Alamzad holds an MBA in Marketing from New York Institute of Technology, a Masters in Chemical Engineering from City University of New York, and a BS in Chemical Engineering from University of Rhode Island.
