Pro-Line Automation Systems announced the addition of Ellis L. Dillen to its management staff as vice president and chief operations officer. Dillen started his career in 1987 as a machine builder on the shop floor, advancing quickly to leadership positions in service, sales and eventually as president and CEO of a well-known supplier of machinery from Europe.
“I have met many great people along the way that have helped me get to where I am today, and through it all my philosophy has been to treat our customers right through service and support,” Dillen said. “A good salesperson can get the first order, but it’s the company’s dedication to servicing the customer that builds lasting relationships. I look forward to bringing this ideology to an already forward-thinking, service-driven organization by announcing that Pro-Line Automation will be opening a new facility in Solon, Ohio, on August 1, 2024,” he added.
Vinode Ramnauth, president and CEO of Pro-Line added, “I have known Ellis and his abilities for many years, and I am happy that we were able to talk openly about our shared goals. In the end I am extremely pleased that we were able to add Ellis to the team, and I’m looking forward to supporting our U.S. customer base through our new U.S. facility.”
