New president for Capital Safety Americas
Capital Safety announced that Joe Reimer has joined the company as president of the Americas region.
Reimer has more than 25 years of experience in the global personal protection equipment industry. For the past 15, he has been president of the fall protection division of Dalloz and senior vice president of the height safety group within Sperian Protection and Honeywell.
