Emerson Process Management announces that Paul Smith is appointed as General Manager, United Kingdom and Ireland. Smith will be based at the company’s UK offices in Stockport and takes over from Mark Dutton who, after three years at the helm, is appointed as Vice President & General Manager of Emerson’s Daniel Measurement and Control division in Europe.
“Many companies in the process industry are experiencing a reduction in demand and as a result are focussing on operations improvements,” said Smith. “I am excited to be joining Emerson at this time as I believe its class leading technologies, including Smart Wireless products and PlantWeb® digital architecture, are best placed to help customers introduce automation improvements that give immediate cost benefits, and can be scaled up later as budgets allow.”
