Paxton promotes Blair Bowen to Divisional Director of Manufacturing

Greenville, SC, Feb. 7, 2023 — Paxton, the international security technology manufacturer, has promoted Blair Bowen to Divisional Director of Manufacturing to oversee the exciting expansion of their manufacturing operations in the coming years.

“Having started with Paxton a year ago, Blair has already become an important and integral member of Paxton’s senior management team," said Adam Stroud, Paxton's CEO. “It has been a busy year for our manufacturing team, spearheading advances in efficiency, introducing plastic injection molding, and making positive cultural improvements.”

Currently Paxton’s manufacturing facilities operate to meet ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards, ensuring they operate to the highest level in both quality and environmental responsibility. Under Blair’s guidance, the factory has broken production records, hitting a new high of $8.9 million worth of products made in a single month. There are several big projects planned for Blair and his team in 2023, including further increases in manufacturing efficiency, facility expansion, and continuous team development to enable future promotions.

“We are investing in new technology and new machinery, which will bring us even more efficiency. We are working towards producing our first injection molded parts," said Bowen "This will improve our self-sufficiency on products that we manufacture such as readers and cabinets."

Prior to joining Paxton, Blair spent 12 years working in a blue-chip large corporation environment. He sees Paxton as a growing organization with the potential for personal development for all.

“I came to Paxton to gain and expand responsibilities and range of skills," said Bowen. “Being promoted to Divisional Director is an incredibly rewarding step on this journey and reaffirms the reasons I joined.”
