With his appointment Erwin brings a strong LED technology background to the table along with considerable experience in leading business ventures and advanced technology teams in the semiconductor field.
Commenting on his appointment, Erwin said: “The LED industry, and in particular the domestic lighting market, is seeing rapid growth driven by innovations in the manufacturing process. As the LED market continues to heat up – both practically and metaphorically – the need for thermal management grows with it.
“Cambridge Nanotherm’s thermal management technology offers LED manufacturers a unique alternative to traditional materials that not only enables significant cost savings to be realized but also opens the door to new applications and device possibilities. As more LED manufacturers switch to using our superior, cost-effective thermal management solutions the challenges for Cambridge Nanotherm are changing. I’m looking forward to working with the team to meet these challenges head on and take the company to the next level of its evolution.”
Chairman Howard Ford added: “We’re excited to have such an experienced industry heavy hitter at the helm as we continue to grow and develop Cambridge Nanotherm. It’s an exciting time for Cambridge Nanotherm and an interesting period for the industry, as LEDs continue to make inroads into the domestic market and new applications multiply. Erwin brings a vast amount of industry knowledge and experience with him, especially from his previous LED related assignments at Osram and at AZZURRO.”
