Lenze opens Michigan office, expands automotive industry operations

Lenze Americas, manufacturer of electrical and mechanical drives, motion control, and automation technologies, has opened a new office in Novi, MI to increase its presence in the Midwest, and expand its operations in the automotive industry.

“Lenze’s new office location will create a dynamic and modern workplace for the innovative work that our employees are doing to deliver a diverse range of solutions for vehicle manufacturing,” said Chuck Edwards, president, Lenze. “Automotive manufacturers look to Lenze to provide ideal drive and automation technology systems, allowing reduced set-up times, resulting in higher plant productivity. We are delighted to have a presence in Michigan, home of the automotive industry.”

As Lenze continues to expand its business operations in the automotive industry, John Slayton, manager, automotive business development group for Lenze, will manage the new location. Slayton is responsible for strategic development of automotive end-user and OEM customers. He will support industry-focused efforts in the sales regions, engaging with the global automotive focus industries team.

The office opening in MI follows recent expansion of Lenze’s presence in the Midwest. In 2012, Lenze opened an assembly and logistics facility in IL which supports electro-mechanical product manufacturing operations for the Americas region.
