Intelligrated (intelligrated.com), a leading North American-based automated material handling solutions provider, announces the grand opening of its new southwest regional sales and operations based in Irving, Texas. 

The new location addresses critical growth in the southwest and ensures companies interested in automated material handling solutions have convenient access to highly-specialized engineering, project management and sales support.

“The southwest is a strategic priority for Intelligrated and the new regional operation will build long-term partnerships with customers to learn their business and enhance productivity,” said Chris Cole, CEO.

To drive engineering, project management, sales and aftermarket lifecycle services for the new regional operation, Royal Smith, Intelligrated’s senior vice president of regional sales and operations, appoints Martin Augustyn as vice president, southwest regional sales and operations.

His prior positions at Intelligrated include senior sales engineer, concepting and estimating manager, and operations manager. Augustyn earned his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering with a minor in mathematics from Marquette University.

To complete the senior leadership team, Augustyn appoints Kyle Brock as sales manager, Jim Gnacinski as operations manager and Heather Smith as office manager. The southwest regional operation is actively recruiting for mechanical, electrical and sales engineering positions to augment existing sales and engineering staff.
