Following 18 months of sales growth in the region, FOR-A has incorporated a new division to serve customers located in Latin America. Hiroaki Tanoue has been named to head up the new venture, called FOR-A Latin America, where he will serve a dual role as president of FOR-A Latin America and executive vice president of FOR-A.
