ATLANTA, GA - August 1, 2017 - Hanwha Surfaces, the North American subsidiary of international conglomerate Hanwha L&C, announced today that Mark Abbas has been named the company’s new Marketing Director.

“Hanwha is a forward-thinking company that is strategically planning for a bright future, building upon its momentum in recent years,” says Abbas. “I’m excited to join Hanwha during such a pivotal time of expansion and have the opportunity to impact the growth of the business through a greater emphasis on marketing and the customer experience.”
Abbas joins Hanwha Surfaces as the company is moving significant production to the North American market, including the launch of HanStone Quartz’s state-of-the-art second production line in London, Ontario in September and the launch of the company’s first US production facility for its Hanex Solid Surfaces brand in Texas in July 2018.
