Koh Young America, the industry leader in True 3D measurement-based inspection solutions, announced two changes within its North American organization. Dave Nemeth has been named Sr. Manager, Eastern Regional Sales, covering eastern Canada and key territories across the eastern and midwestern United States, while Mitchell Kim has been appointed Manager of Service & Applications for the U.S. & Canada.
Nemeth moves into his new role after more than 12 years as Koh Young’s service manager. He brings extensive practical experience from a range of electronics manufacturing services providers, from mid-tier companies to Tier 1 global organizations, including extended international assignments. A proud U.S. Air Force veteran, Nemeth has built a strong reputation for customer focus and a comprehensive understanding of manufacturing operations and their support requirements. In his new role, he will support customers in eastern Canada, the Midwest including Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky, the Northeast including New England, New York, New Jersey, and eastern Pennsylvania, and Florida, where he is based.
Kim steps into his expanded role after 15 years with Koh Young, having joined the company in 2011. Over that time, he progressed from field service into applications, later serving as applications team leader before taking on this broader management position. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Systems Engineering from the University of Arizona and brings deep technical knowledge along with extensive experience supporting customers across the region.
The appointments also create stronger regional alignment for customers in the U.S. and Canada. With Kim based in Duluth, Georgia, alongside Koh Young America’s applications, training, and Help Desk teams, the company is better positioned to improve coordination, accelerate response, and provide more closely aligned support across service and process-related functions.
“These changes reflect the strength of our team and our commitment to developing talent from within,” said Joel Scutchfield, General Manager of Koh Young America. “Dave has led our service organization with dedication for more than a decade, and his experience in the EMS environment gives him a strong foundation for this next step into regional sales. At the same time, Mitchell’s progression shows the kind of growth we are proud to foster at Koh Young. It is a meaningful passing of the torch, and it also creates stronger regional alignment for our customers by bringing service and applications leadership closer to our Duluth-based support resources.”
By aligning leadership more closely with regional resources and customer needs, Koh Young continues to strengthen the foundation for responsive support and long-term partnership across the electronics manufacturing industry. Together, these appointments reinforce the Koh Young commitment to the customer.
