Kadota replaces Masanobu Uchida, who is returning to Japan to become the executive managing director of KYUHEN, a subsidiary of DAIHEN Corporation.
“I extend my gratitude to the customers and employees of OTC DAIHEN, Inc for their kindness and support over these last 5 years,” Uchida said. “I am confident that Luke will continue to encourage and support their growth and the growth of our mutually successful business.”
OTC DAIHEN, with headquarters in Tipp City OH, is the US subsidiary of DAIHEN Corporation of Osaka, Japan. The company delivers manual and robotic welding innovations, and produces all the components necessary to be a single-source supplier to the metal fabrication industry.
