SEOUL—Suprema, a global leader in access control, biometrics and time and attendance management solutions, has appointed Bob McKee as new President of Suprema America.

McKee brings over 45 years of experience in the electronic physical security sector to this new role and will be responsible for leading Suprema’s North America business and its operations in the U.S.

Prior to joining Suprema, McKee held key executive positions with major and global security companies including Cardkey Systems, Paxton Access, Hanwha Techwin (formerly Samsung Techwin), Pelco and Princeton Identity. He also served multiple terms on the board of directors for the Security Industry Association (SIA).

Suprema is confident that McKee’s extensive experience will help position the company as a major player in access control in North America with its strong offerings.
