Victor Technologies is bringing new energy to familiar workplace products through practical, thoughtful innovation. Featuring Douglas Nash, CEO, and Carmen Franzen, Senior Sales Manager at Victor Technologies, and hosted by Adam Fox.

From clipboards with built-in pen holders to whiteboards packaged with markers, Victor is focused on solving simple but real customer frustrations in ways that make products easier to sell, easier to use, and easier to understand. Douglas and Carmen discuss how this mindset has shaped more than 40 new product launches, all centered around small improvements that make end users say, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

You’ll hear how Victor is leaning into major growth opportunities across education, workspace accessories, and facility-adjacent solutions. The conversation covers the rise of cell phone lockers as more states introduce classroom phone restrictions, the continued relevance of standing desks, and new magnetic accessories designed to help users declutter, organize, and customize their workspaces.

The episode also highlights Victor’s expanding portfolio beyond its calculator heritage, including new partnerships, Made in USA products, environmentally conscious design, easy assembly, and solution-focused tools that help dealers better position products with their end-user customers.

For dealers looking to uncover fresh conversations in education, workplace productivity, space optimization, and everyday office needs, this episode offers a practical look at how Victor is helping distribution partners simplify complexity, introduce new solutions, and create more value from products customers already know.
