Spotlight On A spotlight on
Diamond Point International
This month, the CIE spotlight shines on Martin Frederiksen, managing director Diamond Point International as we look at his career through the electronics industry and his current role with Diamond Point International
M
artin Frederiksen started his career in 1997 at the Danish company INSIDE Technology A/S and was
responsible for the Nordic Market. INSIDE technology actually signed up Diamond Point in the first three years of Martin working there. The company was then acquired by JUMPtec in 1999. During this period Martin took a sabbatical to Chile for a year, got married, and upon his return, he was in charge of the Iberia and BeNeLux regions. In 2002 Kontron acquired JUMPtec and Martin was asked to move to Belgium to be the sales manager of the BeNeLux region. He returned to Denmark in 2006 and
was in charge of the Nordic region again working with customers like ABB,
Nokia, Bombardier and GE Heatlhcare. He was also in charge of the distribution business and signed up Recab in 2006. In 2012 Martin was asked to move to the UK and take charge of Northern Europe. After 18 years of service he made the decision to start a new venture.
Martin joined Congatec as sales
director for Northern Europe. At this time Diamond Point and Recab were open to start cooperation with Congatec. In August he joined Diamond Point as managing director after the company was acquired by ADDtech. The plan is to join another ADDtech company Recab together with Diamond Point and use Diamond Point as a foothold into the UK.

The difference between a traditional PC104 system and a COMexpress design. the simpler design improves the overall quality of the solution as reducing the manufacturing time 34 December 2018/January 2019 Components in Electronics
