J. P. Sercel Associates (JPSA) announces the appointment of Maurice G. Covino and Joan M. Bickmann, partners in Mojo Solar, as sales representatives to the photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing industry for North America.

JPSA recently announced its entry into the PV market and has begun delivery of laser workstations for processing solar PV products, an application well suited to the company's laser scribing, drilling, and edge deletion technology. JPSA has long been in the forefront of developing processes and systems that advance ‘greener' technologies, and its engineering team has worked constantly to improve the efficiency as well as the yields of products such as LEDs and photovoltaics.

Maurice Covino brings thirty years of successful technical sales and marketing to customers in both domestic and international markets, with ten of those years in the solar industry alone. His previous positions include VP at Spire and President of SAE.

Joan Bickmann's credentials also include thirty years of successful sales and business development experience, and she is qualified as CLU, ChFc, and AEP, and a member of MDRT. She is also past president of several charitable organisations and continues to serve on their boards.
