TAIPEI, TAIWAN--(Marketwire - March 11, 2009) - This month, DIAS Holding, Inc. (
Bieng-tzong "Jack" Jiang is the Vice President for AFS Operations reporting to the DIAS Holding CEO. An eight year veteran of the company, Mr. Jiang arrived after retiring from the Taiwan army where he commanded an armaments manufacturing facility of over 100 technical personnel. "Coming to AFS fit very well because there are many similarities in growing a commercial company to my experience in running primarily a multi-disciplined government plant. Engineering, quality assurance and control, material and sourcing management, and personnel training are key to both types of jobs," Mr. Jiang stated. As a retired colonel, he holds a Bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering from the prestigious Chung Cheng Institute of Technology in Taiwan and held management positions as chief liaison to General Dynamics in Detroit and Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland during his career with the government, where he honed his English language skills.
"Jack is well respected. From the start, he communicated well with us, and personally gets involved to solve any issues between us," says Tim Seyler, an executive of the Affinia Group, and a major customer for AFS.
Sources knowledgeable about AFS credit Jack for AFS' success. "Jack instituted the program management and QA system that was instrumental in successfully helping our major accounts business," stated Jack Purney, a retired vice president of major accounts for AFS. When asked about his current role, Mr. Jiang stated, "It has been satisfying to successfully grow our sourcing business year-to-year since the beginning of this decade. In a large part this is due to a good mix between our OEM sales and our aftermarket sales. The bulk of our top ten major customers are in the aftermarket segment. As for 2009, my current customers tell me that they will continue to rely on our products, and are planning to have us develop more this year. I am cautiously optimistic about the inroads made with customers in Mexico, Japan, and the Middle East. These should have a positive impact this year," said Mr. Jiang.
