Slide Products Promotes Betsi Burns to New Sales Manager

Slide Products promoted Betsi Burns as its new sales manager at the start of 2024. Burns joined the Slide team as business development manager over three years ago, bringing over 22 years of experience in the mold and die making industry. Company head Michael Muth sees this as a new chapter in the capacity to continue growing and supporting their distributors and customer base. With this management change, Muth will be better able to focus on the company’s overall direction and spearhead larger projects that are necessary to meet future endeavors and challenges. Michael’s title has officially been changed from president and sales manager to chief strategist.

Burns has a rich and diverse professional background with her first big step into the injection molding and mold making sectors at Boride Engineered Abrasives and has known Muth over the years as both companies shared numerous common distributors. Said Muth, “When Betsi Burns agreed to join Slide, we laid out a 3-4 year plan to help transition from her traditional sales role into a position of leadership, working alongside Slide’s existing team of sales experts. Betsi has taken her existing knowledge of the mold making space and combined it with her new experience in injection molding to build a solid understanding of how she can support our customers, distributors and team members. Betsi will take over the daily support of Slide’s sales team, offering her history and vast skillset to enable us to continue to offer best-in-industry knowledge and support. I am excited to see where Betsi helps to lead Slide as we begin this next chapter in our company’s history.”
