Optec Displays Strengthens its Dealer Network with Two New Territory Managers
Thomas Sampson and Rod Wilske to deepen revenue channels and customer relationships.
Ontario, California, August 2, 2026—Optec Displays, Inc., one of the top producers of LED displays, lighting, and software, announces the addition of two new Territory Managers to its team, Thomas Sampson and Rod Wilske.
The new hires will be responsible for driving revenue and deepening customer relationships in their respective territories.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Thomas and Rod to the Optec team,” said Christopher White, Director of Sales at Optec Displays. “Their experience and dedication to customer service will be a tremendous asset as we continue to grow our dealer network and expand our presence across these territories.”
Sampson brings more than 30 years of experience to his new role as Territory Manager for Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, where he will focus on building strong dealer partnerships and providing dedicated support to Optec’s network in the region.
A second-generation sign professional who has worked on both the retail and wholesale side of signage, Sampson has helped businesses increase their visibility and strengthen their brands through high-quality sign and billboard solutions.
“My background in manufacturing engineering and mechanical drafting has given me the technical knowledge to bridge the gap between design, manufacturing, and installation. Combined with decades of real-world experience, I work closely with clients to develop solutions that meet their goals, budgets, and timelines,” said Sampson. “I believe successful sales begin with listening, understanding each client’s unique needs, and delivering results that exceed expectations.”
Wilske brings over 20 years of experience in visual communications to his new role, where he has worked for a variety of leading manufacturers in the pro AV space.
As the new Territory Manager for Tennessee, Northern Alabama, Kentucky, and northern Mississippi, Wilske will be responsible for supporting dealer partners and strengthening relationships for Optec.
“The culture here is so reassuring. Everyone I meet is upbeat, very competent, and energized to help customers,” said Wilske. “It confirms what I’ve always believed: long-term success is driven by collaboration, trust, and ease of doing business—it’s more fun that way too!”
