Joe led business development in Europe for Zircon Corporation. In a short period of time he identified & appointed distribution partners and major accounts across Europe, providing input on product presentation/adaptation to meet local European needs. Mr. Mannion was always a thorough and market-driven executive, who interacted well with all of our Zircon team. Thanks to Joe’s strategy & focused work we became an established profitable player in the European market. We highly recommend Joe for any international market expansion & management role.

I had the pleasure of working with Joe while he was at Ames True Temper. He is an energetic action-oriented business professional who was always focused on results and creating new opportunities with customers. He is personable, bright, resourceful and a strong performer. I would highly recommend him.

I worked with Joe as he helped us to penetrate the surface treatment opportunities with major airframe manufacturers. Joe has a wealth of unique knowledge related to gaining technical approvals from major OEMs. His contacts in the aerospace industry are exceptional and his command of multiple languages allows effective communication between clients and potential customers.

Joe has worked to develop the European market … He has been instrumental in communications, strategic planning and market development. His ability to communicate with customers in German, French and Spanish has been critical in developing relationships. He is extremely professional and quickly learns new concepts and technical issues. I would highly recommend Joe to any company looking to enter new markets in Europe.

I have worked with Joe for several years and developed a good business thanks to its network and market knowledge. I hope to have the opportunity to work again with him soon. And surely call Joe for advice if I face a hard situation with unknown solution.
