Ron Fiedler has joined Elatec USA Inc. as vice president of strategic alliances. In this role, Fiedler will expand the company's global presence through business development, strategic partnerships and penetration of new markets, according to a press release.

Elatec designs and manufactures radio frequency identification readers for user authentication and access control applications. Elatec readers recognize and decode over 60 RFID transponder technologies and are certified for use in as many as 110 countries worldwide. The readers are used for secure printing and other applications such as industrial vending, fleet management, time and attendance and single sign-on for computers and other devices. 

"I was attracted by the company's international footprint and exceptional 30% year-over-year growth in sales,” Fiedler said in the press release. "Most importantly, the demand is growing for RFID card and mobile ID convenience, efficiency and security, which Elatec's superior technology is uniquely positioned to capitalize on." 

Fiedler brings nearly 20 years security experience and is a subject matter expert on RF credentials. He joins Elatec from RF IDeas, Inc, where for the past 15 years he served as director of business development. There, he was instrumental in growing the organization from a start-up, to one of Inc. 500's 5000 fastest growing private companies, to its eventual acquisition by Roper Technologies.

Fiedler will be based out of Elatec's U.S. headquarters in Palm City, Florida.
