Our company has a strong foundation, and I look forward to building an even stronger future with our talented team, which is deeply committed to innovation and exceptional customer service.”

Spatny joined IHSE as head of sales and marketing in 2018 and was promoted to chief sales officer (CSO) in 2019. Spatny has brought his extensive background in developing growth strategies to the company. He has many years of senior management experience in the high-tech industry, with a special focus on building and leading international sales organizations and channel partner networks. With a background in communication engineering, he has extensive knowledge of the technology marketplace.

As IHSE continues to grow, IHSE USA is proud to announce that Justin Strazdas has joined the company as video sales engineer. With over a decade of experience in the AV industry, including roles at Roland, Strazdas brings deep expertise in product support, training, and system design for broadcast and postproduction environments.

“I’m excited to contribute to IHSE’s success and help further develop our innovative KVM solutions,” said Strazdas. “My passion for the industry aligns perfectly with the company’s commitment to excellence and customer success.”

The company, founded in 1984 by three university graduates in a small garage, started with a single product offering for basic analog to digital conversion devices. In the early years, IHSE extended its product offerings to include keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) as well as a variety of peripheral sharing devices. Today, the company has turned into a multi-vertical supplier of KVM solutions consisting of over 1000 products, and employs over 150 employees with business headquarters located in Europe, Asia, and the United States. IHSE verticals include Aviation, Broadcasting, Maritime, Entertainment and Government/Defense. The demand for IHSE’s solutions is also increasing in the national and international security markets. In times of omnipresent cyberattacks, IHSE’s secure KVM solutions are becoming vital for safeguarding complex IT systems at all levels.

As IHSE moves forward into the next chapter, the company is well positioned for continued international growth. Part of the company’s growth strategy includes pioneering future technology with many of the world’s leading technology companies.

In addition, IHSE continues to be a good steward of the Earth. Thanks to IHSE’s sustainability and efficiency concept, customers will benefit from lower energy costs while the company makes crucial contributions to sustainable business practices.
