A new President of Yokogawa Europe has been announced.

Herman van den Berg will take over from Harry Hauptmeijer, who has been the company’s President since 2002 and will continue as Director until the 1st October 2013.

Mr. van den Berg was born on January 15, 1958, and started his engineering career in a uranium enrichment facility before moving to an offshore platform and refinery engineering team with a project company. He became involved in global projects and eventually became the global electrical, control and instrumentation manager for the company.

He joined Yokogawa in 2005 as Managing Director for Yokogawa South Africa, and moved in 2011 to Yokogawa’s European headquarters in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, as Vice President for delivery and service with the Industrial Automation Division.

Van den Berg strongly said: Yokogawa’s pioneering spirit, appetite for quality and appreciation for a sustainable society provide the attributes that our customers need to make them successful.”
