Heason Technology warmly welcomes the recent appointment of Jon Howard as the new managing director for the UK subsidiary of Elmo Motion Control. As a longstanding UK distribution partner, and fully equipped with its own design and applications engineering teams, Heason works closely with Elmo – combining servo drives and advanced network motion controllers from the global motion systems designer and manufacturer’s comprehensive range as part of its own motion systems integration service. In fact, Jon Howard is no stranger to Heason – or indeed to Elmo Motion – as many customers will remember his heading Heason Technology over several years up to late 2018. Jon’s extensive knowledge of the way that Heason operates and his previous technical and commercial experience with Elmo products will stand both companies in good stead going forward together.
Jon Howard’s appointment as Elmo Motion UK’s managing director coincides with the imminent global launch of a brand new range of Platinum line servo drives.
