UR Group appoints Director of Power Solutions

Newly created pan-European role reinforces UR’s commitment to the power supply market

UR Holding S.p.A. has appointed Joe Matano to the newly created position of Group Director of Power Solutions, a move that reaffirms the company’s commitment to the European power supply market. Matano has been managing director since establishing UR in the UK in 1999 and retains that role whilst taking responsibility for UR’s power supply business across Europe, including the UK, Germany, Italy, France and Spain.

Matano’s brief is to build on UR’s position as one of Europe’s leading resellers of power supply technology which also encompasses fans and filters. The company has strong partnerships with major manufacturers including Artesyn, Astec, Delta, Ericsson Power Modules, TDI and Vicor, as well as relative newcomers such as Enpirion, which produces the world’s smallest Power System on Silicon (PSoS).

Giovanbattista Laghezza, CEO of UR Holding, commented: “Joe has 23 years’ experience in power supply technology, gained with manufacturers and distributors, which means that he is exceptionally well qualified to expand our business in this important sector. Whilst we also supply a wide range of semiconductor and communications technology, including leading-edge wireless solutions, power remains our core area of expertise.”

Matano added: “I am looking forward to strengthening UR’s position in the power supply market. All areas of our business are growing, including semis and comms, and we are totally committed to each of them, but it makes sense for us and our customers to place a special focus on power.”
