Fiber laser cutting system manufacturer Cy-Laser America LLC has appointed Massimo Denipoti as president. He has many years of experience in bringing Italian machine tool companies to the U.S. and serves as a partner in Venture Systems, the import and distribution company that helped Italy-based Cy-Laser SRL establish a presence in North America.

Concurrent to Denipoti’s appointment, the company has shifted its North American headquarters to Sterling Heights, Mich., from its previous location in Geneva, Ill. The new site offers more space and includes an on-site demonstration and technical center. The Geneva location continues to provide sales support for new machines.

The company also has announced the promotion of Geff Smith to service and support manager. He has more than 25 years of experience in the laser industry, including nearly a decade with the company.

Melissa Reynolds has joined the firm as customer service manager. Previously she assisted with estimating, human resources, and administration for a prototype and production stamping company.
