IXONIA, WI, November 01, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Brian J. Heimer has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Mr. Heimer, vice president of Advantage Carrier Tape, has dedicated more than 36 years to his profession, establishing a reputation for providing comprehensive customer solutions. His expertise spans both equipment and products, enabling him to effectively address customer issues and provide appropriate solutions. He has recently sold his company but continues to run Advantage Carrier Tape independently, leveraging his extensive experience in the industry.
Mr. Heimer's team at Advantage Carrier Tape excels in the specialized production and widespread distribution of top-quality carrier tapes designed for use in various industries. He is responsible for a wide range of duties at the company. Initially managing everything independently, he found himself overwhelmed for nearly two years before bringing in assistance for shipping and receiving. He now works alongside other employees in this area while overseeing purchasing, sales, quoting, inventory control and the overall management of the facility.
Mr. Heimer's career journey began as a Specialist in the Officers Records Division of the U.S. Army in Germany from 1974 to 1977. Following his military service, he transitioned into the electronics industry as an Asian sales manager for RVSI/Systemation from 1988 to 2000. During this period, he spent eight years selling equipment in numerous countries in Asia, which required frequent travel and time away from home.
In 2000, after the company he worked for was acquired by a larger entity that ultimately went bankrupt due to mismanagement, Mr. Heimer decided to start his own business. This decision was driven by the need to support customers who were struggling to obtain spare parts for the equipment he used to sell. Leveraging his knowledge of the industry and sources for purchasing inventory, he began selling spare parts and refurbishing equipment.
From 2008 to 2021, Mr. Heimer served as group sales manager at Tek Pak Inc. while being president and owner of Global Electronic Technologies LLC from 2005 to 2021. In 2021, he took on the role of general manager at Advantage Carrier Tape before being promoted to vice president in 2024. Throughout his career, he has been an active member of the Surface Mount Technology Association.
Mr. Heimer takes great pride in providing exceptional customer service and ensuring he has the necessary knowledge to support his customers. By prioritizing quick response times and maintaining sufficient inventory on hand, he has successfully attracted customers who he has worked with for many years.
Mr. Heimer's educational background includes a certificate in strategic business planning from the University of Illinois Chicago. He attributes much of his professional success to maintaining positive relationships with customers and nurturing these connections over time.
Outside of his professional life, Mr. Heimer is actively involved with Watertown Volunteer Emergency Responders. He also enjoys riding his Harley and music during his leisure time. Looking ahead in his career, he plans to retire within the next five to 10 years but has not fixed a specific date as he genuinely enjoys what he does. His long-term aim is to gradually slow down while maintaining connections in the industry with both customers and friends.
