The replacement for the popular Adrian Drewitz at US manufacturer Bay Tek Games is Mark Lenske, it was revealed on the company’s booth at the IAAPA trade show in Orlando, Florida, this week.
Drewitz was at his last coin-op event before moving to a new challenge outside of the industry, but within Bay Tek’s parent company’s group.
Drewitz took the opportunity at IAAPA to introduce Lenske to many of his contacts within the global industry. As the new international sales manager, Lenske will have added responsibility for the Latin American market when he fully takes over shortly.
Lenske has been in the industry 27 years and spent 14 years as sales manager for Bay Tek for the US midwest, so the new position will be his first substantial taste of working in the international machine industry. Before joining Bay Tek he was with jukebox company TouchTunes and before that in the distribution side of the business.
“It will be a considerable challenge taking over from someone like Adrian,” Lenske told InterGame.
“Mark and I have similar personalities,” added Drewitz, “and he has a great deal of knowledge of the industry and our products, so I have no concerns about his abilities.”
Lenske continued: “I am passionate about customer service and I know that Adrian worked hard on that area. I want to carry on the work he has started.”
