Alberto Favalessa has been appointed as new vice president/general manager of Kollmorgen Emea operations. Favalessa has been with Kollmorgen’s Emea sales operations since 2000, in positions of increasing responsibility. Recently as managing director of Italy and Switzerland, Favalessa has successfully built Kollmorgen’s motion control business in key industrial automation and automated guided vehicle segments.
His approach to designing integrated motion solutions, tailored on each customer’s specific needs, combined with his passion for building strong customer relationships are very appreciated within the company. In addition, his team-based approach to problem solving and continuous improvement, able to not only achieve business results but also to inspire and develop the company’s employees, has made him an equally trusted and respected leader within the organization.
“Managing the Emea & India regions for the leader in motion control is certainly a source of pride for me – says Favalessa -. There are few companies in the world that can boast a history of over a century of innovation and this legacy gives me great motivation. I thank the company for the trust given to me. The technologies that Kollmorgen has developed for servo systems and for automated guided vehicles continue to achieve increasingly high standards for performance and reliability. These solutions provide the foundation for conversations with customers about innovation, service, and results. I look forward to driving the company’s continued advancements in all of these areas”.
Alberto Favalessa succeeds Markus Johansson, who leaves the Kollmorgen team well-positioned to accelerate its current positive momentum well into the future.
