Black Box Appoints Regional Sales Manager For The MEA

Black Box® has appointed Axel Kopprasch as Regional Sales Director for the Middle East and Africa (MEA).
Based in Dubai, Axel Kopprasch will lead strategic sales initiatives and drive regional expansion efforts as the company strengthens its presence in the MEA market. This appointment aligns with Black Box’s continued investment in regional leadership as it delivers secure, scalable KVM, AV and IT infrastructure solutions to global customers.
"Axel's appointment marks an important step in our strategy for the MEA region," said Manuel Witzke, Sales Director EMEA at Black Box. "He brings not only deep regional experience but also a proven ability to navigate complex sales environments and build strong customer relationships. His leadership will be instrumental as we grow our footprint and deliver greater value across the region."
Axel Kopprasch brings more than 20 years of experience in solution sales for mission-critical command and control environments, with deep expertise in the oil and gas and government sectors. He has held senior roles at Barco, HP and Cyviz, and most recently worked as an independent consultant for Guntermann & Drunck, where he further developed his specialisation in high-end control room solutions.
"Black Box has built a strong reputation in the MEA region, and I'm excited to contribute to that ongoing success," said Axel Kopprasch. "I look forward to working closely with our customers to solve their infrastructure challenges and support their long-term goals."
