DeTect has officially reorganized its global operations into three distinct regions following approval from the company’s Board of Directors.
The new structure establishes DeTect Americas, covering North, Central, and South America; DeTect EMEA, serving Europe, the Middle East, and Africa; and DeTect Asia-Pacific, encompassing the Pacific Rim, Asia, and Australia. This shift is designed to manage the company’s third decade of continuous expansion.
The company’s principal founder, Gary Andrews, said, “DeTect has maintained profitability and grown steadily over the last 23 years and this new organization structure will support even greater growth over the next decade and beyond while maintaining the high level of service and support our customers have received.”
