26 • october 2017 • world fence news Encon Electronics appoints Naylor to manage new Sacramento branch Access controls and perimeter security wholesale distributor Encon Electronics has hired industry veter- an Dana Naylor as branch manager of its new Sacramento, Calif. branch office and warehouse. Naylor brings wide-ranging expe- rience within the in- dustry, having spent the last 12 years as the Sacramento branch manager for Gates and Con- trols, where she acquired extensive knowledge of gate operator and access control products from a wide range of manufacturers and grew a strong customer base within the Sacramento Valley area. Prior to that, she worked for SJS Products in Loomis, Calif. as an in- side sales representative. SJS is a dis- tributor of electro-mechanical hard- ware. "I sold anything that held prod- ucts together, including screws, cable ties, and circuit board supports," Nay- lor said. "My customers included a com- pany that most in our industry would recognize – Securitron – and other well-known names including Cis- co Systems, Sun Microsystems, and Solectron. I'm thrilled to be the new- est part of the Encon team and look forward to starting this new adven- ture." Naylor came on board a week after Encon opened the Sacramento office, training with veteran Encon sales techs and working with the En- con team to fully stock the new ware- house. "We are extremely fortunate to have Dana as part of our Encon fami- ly," said Encon VP of Sales and Oper- ations Jeff Harris. "Her experience in the distributor industry and her understanding of the Sacramento market is perfect for En- con. She has the vision and aptitude to make our Sacramento branch a huge success." In her spare time, Naylor likes to read and write and is the author of three self-published books. She also enjoys traveling and spending time with her husband of 24 years and her two children. With the opening of the branch at 2651 Del Monte Street in West Sac- ramento, Calif., Encon now has loca- tions serving the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento.
