Atlanta Attachment Company (AAC), a subsidiary of Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company (HSM), a leading supplier of sewing equipment for home furnishings manufacturers, recently named Eugenio Fonts vice president of marketing. Fonts, a veteran executive of more than 15 years with AAC, now assumes the leadership of the company’s marketing department in addition to his current role as head of AAC’s international sales effort. He reports to Hank Little, president of AAC.

Before this appointment, Fonts was vice president of international sales, managing AAC’s international sales and formulating campaigns to achieve global sales and profit goals. He will continue in this role, designing and directing sales and marketing programs and setting short- and long-term sales strategies. He also monitors progress reports, customer needs, and the pricing of products and services.

“Eugenio is a valued member of our executive team, and the addition of the responsibilities over the marketing function is our way of recognizing the contributions he has made and will make to the success of our business,” Little said. “Of particular importance is his knowledge of four languages (English, German, Portuguese and Spanish) and his ability to adapt our sales programs to many different cultures throughout the world. We are grateful for what Eugenio has already brought to our business and look forward to the additional value he’ll bring to our international customer base.”
