"I was attracted by the company’s international footprint and exceptional 30% year-over-year growth in sales,” Fiedler said. “Most importantly, the demand is growing for RFID card and mobile ID convenience, efficiency and security, which ELATEC’s superior technology is uniquely positioned to capitalize on."

Fiedler is a Security industry veteran of nearly 20 years and a subject matter expert on RF credentials. He comes to ELATEC from RF IDeas, Inc, where for the past 15 years he served as Director of Business Development.
