Lawo is expanding its US operations with additional personnel and the opening of a support and logistics hub in Elmsford, New York.
Three times the size and capacity of its previous facility, Lawo’s new hub will serve as warehouse, test facility, training centre, and East Coast Sales & Support office. This complements Lawo’s existing US headquarters in New York City, West Coast Sales & Support office in Los Angeles, and Canadian headquarters in Toronto.
To oversee operations at the new hub, Ricardo Martinez assumes the position of North-America Logistics and Support Coordinator. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Management and comes to Lawo from his previous post as Operations Supervisor with Autonomic Controls.
At the same time, Lawo is pleased to announce the hiring of Hans Juergens as Broadcast Engineer for pre- and post-sales technical support. This addition complements the recent appointment of David Antoine to Lawo’s team of US-based support experts.
Juergens is well-known for his work as a staff and contract engineer for respected companies such as ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN and Vyvx Solutions, and most recently was a Mobile Unit Engineer for NEP Broadcasting. He brings with him a comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of broadcast production, including video delivery over both satellite and terrestrial IP networks.
‘Lawo has long been committed to providing excellent products with outstanding support,’ says Lawo Technical Director Americas, Sam Schauland. ‘TV and radio broadcasters in the US and Canada recognise this, and demand for IP-based video infrastructure products, radio and audio production consoles, and remote production solutions continues to grow steadily. Our expanded logistics capacity and continual addition of support engineers will help us to serve our clients even better.’
