Jim Adamski, with over 30 years of experience in factory automation and previous involvement with Bosch Rexroth, is tasked with supporting partners east of the Mississippi River and in Iowa. Adamski is eager to assist U.S. companies in automating their operations efficiently and addressing labor challenges using Kassow Robots’ versatile 7-axis cobots.
Collin Ayres, recently graduated in mechanical engineering from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, is appointed as the Regional Channel Partner Manager, focusing on expanding Kassow Robots’ presence in North America, particularly in the western U.S. Ayres is excited about the potential of Kassow Robots’ cobots in industrial settings due to their flexibility and ease of use.
