IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Global sensor
solutions provider Interlink Electronics Inc. (NASDAQ: LINK) — a
trusted technology partner in the rapidly advancing world of
human-machine interface (HMI) devices, force sensors, and related
cutting-edge technologies — announces plans to establish an
advanced engineering team in Scotland, a vital step in further extending
the company's European presence and customer base.
The new group will be based out of an innovation hub near the
University of Strathclyde in
Glasgow, Scotland. Initially, the
multidisciplinary team will consist of five engineers, with plans
to add additional personnel and resources as the location ramps up
operations.
To support the group, Interlink is establishing a new U.K.-based
entity — Interlink Electronics Limited — with the assistance of
Scottish Enterprise, the country's national economic development
agency. Professor Graham Wren,
Interlink's strategic technical advisor, also serves as the
University of Strathclyde's director of
major projects and special advisor to the principal and
vice-chancellor, which will help provide the company with access to
local talent and business opportunities.
"The establishment of our new Scottish footprint is a crucial
step in capitalizing on the hot European market — one of our
fastest growing sources of new business," said Steven N. Bronson, chairman, president, and CEO
of Interlink Electronics. "Our expanding presence across the pond
will also give us access to a fresh pool of engineering talent, not
only from Scotland but all over
the U.K."
Interlink's new European operations epitomize its ongoing
commitment to strategic growth around the globe. In just the last
year, the company opened a new world-class R&D center and
advanced materials science lab in Camarillo, Calif., as well as its new
corporate headquarters in Irvine,
Calif. These upgraded physical footprints — along with the
addition of new personnel and companywide resources — provide the
necessary infrastructure to pursue opportunities in new industries,
offer a greater range of in-house solutions, and develop new
proprietary technology.
