Exro Technologies Inc. (CSE: XRO) (OTCQB: EXROF), whose
technology unlocks the unrealized power within the world’s electric motors, has
announced that Werner Kitz, an industry leader in electric motors and drives,
has joined the Exro Business Advisory Board.
A senior executive and engineer at Siemens who retired in
2019, Kitz brings with him more than 25 years of experience and a global
perspective of innovation and manufacturing in the power-conversion
sector (http://ibn.fm/mk213).
He will be advising Exro as the company continues its aggressive
commercialization program to improve the performance of electric motors used in
the automotive, energy, agricultural, marine and last-mile transportation
space, among others.
“I am happy to join the Business Advisory Board to assist
Josh and the Exro team in bringing Exro’s technology to market,” Kitz stated in
a news release. “Exro has the potential to add significant value to industrial
sectors worldwide, ensuring we get more from the energy we use to power
electric motors and powertrains.”
A 1981 graduate of Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische
Hochschule Aachen (RWTH-Aachen), Kitz spent his time at the university focused
on motors, drives and power distribution. He obtained employment at Siemens as
an electrical engineer at the company’s motor factory in Nuremberg, Germany,
where he made an immediate impression with his insight and expertise. He was
promoted within a year to Siemens’ headquarters to concentrate on engineering
and automation in the metals aspect of the industry.
By 1998, Kitz was serving as director of engineering for
Siemens’ large drives division in global markets, where he shouldered
responsibilities for innovation in variable speed drives for metals, O&G,
and test stands; he also took on new market development for high-power and
high-torque applications. In 2014, he was named vice president of mill drives
in the company’s minerals industry division.
“Werner has played a major role at Siemens – and the world’s
electrical motor and drive sector – for more than a quarter of a century,” Exro
COO Josh Sobil stated in a news release. “Werner’s insight, ingenuity and
experience will help us accelerate the commercialization of Exro technology
into the global marketplace.”
Kitz joins a group of individuals with impressive experience
in the industry including Sue Ozdemir, who was appointed Exro’s CEO in
September 2019 after serving as CEO of GE’s Small Industrial Motors Division.
Exro facilitates the transition to clean energy by providing
products and services to manufacturers to increase the efficiency and
reliability of power systems, including electric motors, generators and batteries.
Exro’s patented technology enhances energy systems by dynamically sensing and
adapting variable inputs and optimally matching them to desired outputs,
creating measurable performance gains and extended lifespan. The widespread
applications of the technology apply to optimizing the performance of electric
vehicles, UAVs, and ship drives, as well as pumps, industrial motors, and
energy capture from wind and tides.
