BARTLETT, Ill., Dec. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- WITTENSTEIN Inc., a
leading global manufacturer of motion control products, servo
systems and mechatronic systems, has expanded its Northeast Sales
team to provide more application support for customers in the
region. Two additional team members will now be available to
support OEMs, distributors and system integrators with product
selection and sizing support: Evan
Long as Regional Applications Manager, and Jan Jaeger as Regional Application Engineer.
Evan and Jan both reside in the Northeast, making them readily
available for onsite technical consultations and training with
customers.
This Northeast expansion was in response to
customer demand, according to Peter
Riehle, President and CEO of WITTENSTEIN North America, who
elaborates, "The marketplace is complex, with great disparity in
sizing philosophies, which makes it difficult for machine builders
and distributors to find the optimal products for their
applications. Helping our customers identify the ideal servo
gearbox, actuator, linear- or servo drive system can make a big
difference in machine performance and cost of ownership. It's worth
the investment for us to allocate these resources to our customers
– we see it as an investment in the industry."
Our new Regional Application
Manager Evan Long will reside in
Pennsylvania. Evan Long has more than six years of application
engineering experience, specifically in actuators and mechanical
drive systems. Evan has deep knowledge of semiconductor, food &
beverage, robotics and medical applications. He holds a B.S. in
Mechanical Engineering from Northern Illinois
University.
Residing in Connecticut, Regional Application Engineer
Jan Jaeger has six years of
engineering experience at WITTENSTEIN headquarters in
Germany. Starting in 2011 with a dual work-study program for
Industrial Engineering and International technical sales
management, Jan progressed to a full-service application engineer,
specializing in technical consulting and customer support for all
industries. Jan achieved his Bachelor of Engineering degree at
State University of Baden-Wuerttemberg in Germany.
Evan and Jan will report to Bill
Kollar, Regional Sales Manager for the Northeast Territory.
Tom Coyle, Director of Sales for
North America notes, "The
industrial automation industry is increasingly competitive, and our
customers want ways to differentiate. OEM customers want to examine
every potential gain on a machine design. Distributors want
assistance selecting the optimal products for their customers, at
the right size and price. Evan and Jan are well equipped to do
this, and will be readily available to our Northeast
customers."
