Brian Simister promoted to Engineering Director
Previously working for Paladon Systems for 19 years and returning in 2012 in the role of Engineering Manager, during the last few years Brian has focused on the implementation of new CAD and data management software and the standardization of major product lines.
Brian, “During the last couple of years we have made tremendous improvements to our engineering tools and procedures. These improvements have ultimately allowed us to standardize our actuator product lines and enjoy the resulting process and cost efficiencies.
Now that this phase is almost complete, my focus will change to one of developing new technologies and products to meet our customers rapidly changing requirements, particularly with regards to electronic control systems, communications and diagnostic packages. Previously we were reliant on 3rd parties to develop our more advanced electronics; however, we now have the skills to design them in-house and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work on the development of the next generation of valve automation systems.”
