WPS has appointed Drew Johnson as Business Development Director for North America. Drew will bring more than two decades of experience to the role.
The hiring of Johnson, who is based in Vancouver, on the back of WPS's growth in North America during recent years, most recently emphasized by the awarded contract for the first delivery system to Spring Meadow Nursery in Michigan, marks a significant move by WPS as it creates a local presence in the North American market. Known for its customizable automation systems, WPS is aiming to meet the growing demand for efficiency and productivity in commercial greenhouses across the U.S. and Canada.
