Zwanenburg, The Netherlands, October 22, 2014 – AEG Power Solutions announces the addition of two new Sales Vice-Presidents, Hans Van Nikkelen Kuijper, and John Ferriman. Both have highly experienced senior profiles and are experts in the power electronics business.

Our customer base continues to stand behind our capabilities and the additions of John and Hans are a testament of our ability to attract and retain best in class people. Their addition will reinforce our sound foundations and build an agile, customer-centric organization. I’m looking forward to working with Hans and John to serve our customers and enhance the benefit they get from our solutions.”
