Torrance, Calif. - Aftermarket security supplier Auto Page has restructured its North American operations, giving two top executives more responsibilities.

 President Mike Northup is expanding his responsibilities to include greater involvement in product management and sales and marketing. Chief financial officer Ken Watanabe assumes more responsibilities for administration, purchasing and inventory management.

 The restructuring reflects a "changing business climate," the company said.

 Northup said he will work more closely with sales reps and customers and noted that sales, marketing and product development are in the "roots of my career."

The company, in business for 33 years, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tokyo-based Iwata Electric.
