Third party logistics provider (3PL) Kenco has named industry veteran Sean Wallingford as president of its material handling equipment (MHE) division, saying he will help customers to better leverage, maintain, service and automate their assets.
Before leading Kenco MHE Solutions, Wallingford had most recently served as President & CEO for supply chain automation and implementation firm Swisslog Americas. Prior to that, he worked for Vanderlande and Honeywell Intelligrated.
According to Kenco President & CEO Denis Reilly, the Kenco MHE Solutions is a fast-growing portfolio for the company, more than quadrupling in size since 2022. It most recently introduced an Automation Guidance offering, designed to help operations managers envision, execute and maintain automation upgrades to their existing infrastructure.
“MHE Solutions has proven to be a great fit for our customers because it allows them to access asset support for their day-to-day needs, avoiding costly downtimes for their critical equipment, and plan for their future,” Reilly said. “Warehouse automation is no longer a luxury. It’s a necessity for logistics-focused companies wanting to keep up with rapidly evolving customer demand.”
