Leading nanometer-level motion control solutions innovator ALIO Industries, is pleased to announce that Peter Lehner has recently accepted the role of Director of Sales and Marketing, a highly strategic appointment as ALIO continues to secure increased market share across industry.
ALIO was recently acquired by Allied Motion, a company that commands huge respect throughout global industry, and which has the acumen, market penetration, and technological and commercial savvy to take ALIO’s motion control solutions to a much greater number of customers than could have been achieved alone.
Bill Hennessey, Founder and President of ALIO Industries says, “Following our recent acquisition by Allied Motion, ALIO has a great opportunity to augment its customer base in a number of industry sectors, and Peter Lehner will be a huge part of this initiative. ALIO is synonymous with accuracy and innovation in ultra-precision motion control solutions, and is driven by a peerless team of exceptional engineers that have an obsessive focus on nanometer-level motion control, customer success, and pushing the boundaries of what is perceived as possible. As we embrace Peter’s experience and market insights, we are excited about what the future has to hold.”
Over the last 10 years, Lehner has held various positions in sales at KEYENCE (a leading provider of sensorics and measurement solutions for factory automation originating from Japan) and attocube systems AG (a leading provider of piezo-based nano positioning devices, interferometers and cryogenic instruments in Germany).
Having led and grown attocube’s Motion & Sensing sales team in recent years — especially growing markets in Europe and Asia — he brings to ALIO a profound knowledge of the challenges and opportunities in the precision positioning market. Lehner has a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and Economics from the University of Passau as well as a Master’s Degree in Business Law (LL.M) from the Nuremberg Institute of Technology.
Lehner says, “I am delighted to join the ALIO team at this exciting time for the company and the precision positioning market. ALIO has a great reputation in the sector, and through partnership and collaboration with OEM customers, has consistently provided cost-effective and timely ultra-precise motion control solutions for the most exacting applications. As demand increases for true repeatable nanometer-level precision across industry, the opportunities for ALIO are huge, and I look forward to helping the company increasing its customer base moving forward.”
