Kinesys Opens New USA Operation and HeadquartersUK motion control specialist Kinesys is opening a new operation -- Kinesys USA Inc. headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia and headed up by industry veteran David Martin. The company says Kinesys and its products have surged in popularity in the US over the last two years, and the move is part of the company's planned medium-term expansion strategy to optimize sales, technical support, and after-sales service for all Kinesys owners and users -- existing and potential. The brand is serious about consolidating the level of support for its US clients and enhancing its presence in the Americas. Kinesys USA will also be a commercial hub for business in Canada, Central and South America. Martin will coordinate the technical sales and support in all these regions and work in close collaboration with the relevant departments at Kinesys' global headquarters in London, UK. The company says this bilateral support is intended to push the brand forward, and Martin will be looking to expand the US-based sales team as the process gets underway. Technical support is right at the core of Kinesys' values, so it was important to find the right person to head up the new US venture. Martin has an impressive resume which include working for the US military on the iconic Black Hawk helicopter -- a period where he learned a vast amount about automation control. After leaving the military, he worked as a freelance production rigger and toured worldwide with a number of top artists. He has also worked for rental and installation companies and as operations director for specialty labor provider Rhino Services. Most recently he worked on rigging and automation at Dragone's renowned House of Dancing Water installation in Macau. Later he worked for Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas before moving to Atlanta Rigging where he was a project manager in the automation and special projects division. "I'm honored to have the opportunity to work for a company like Kinesys," he comments. "They stand head and shoulders above other companies and everyone involved is truly passionate about their work and the industry." He's already familiar with the Kinesys product lines having been working with them for some years as an automation engineer, operator, and rigger. "I believe Kinesys out-performs any other similar product on the market today," Martin states. Adding, "I'm really looking forward to being part of such a talented team of people and helping to build a positive and successful future for the brand in the US." Kinesys CEO Dave Weatherhead says, "I am delighted that the next step in our expansion strategy is underway and as a consequence we can provide all the benefits that only a US company can offer. With someone as experienced as David at the helm of our US operation we now have the ability to pass on knowledge of Kinesys products at a much more personal and local level."
