A year later he was named National Sales Manager and in 1999 was promoted to Vice President Sales. In 2005, Mr. Linse added marketing responsibilities and was appointed Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

“Both executives have consistently demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities, not only in delivering solid business performance, but also in establishing a corporate culture that is firmly grounded in what best defines the SATO business model and values,” stated Mr. Toshihiro Waki, Managing Director of SATO International Pte Ltd. and Executive Vice President of SATO Corporation. “They typify the drive and commitment required to meet the ever-increasing demands of SATO's worldwide expansion plans.”
