Rollomatic Appoints New Field Service Leader

Rollomatic Inc. (Mundelein, IL), a subsidiary of Rollomatic Holding SA (Le Landeron, Switzerland), announces the appointment of Daniel Franklin as their new service/applications team leader at their North American headquarters in Mundelein.

Starting his career at their factory in Switzerland in 1999, he relocated with his wife and three children to the U.S. in 2014 and has been an effective and industrious applications engineer. He will take over the team leader’s position immediately. His predecessor, Mac MacKenna, transitioned into a sales manager position in the Northeast.

Franklin’s responsibilities will include leading a team of ten applications and field service engineers. He will be accountable for all activities relating to test grinding, applications research and development and machine installation as well as all aspects of field and in-house machine service.

Born in the UK, he relocated with his parents to the French-speaking part of Switzerland in his early years and initially worked in the machine assembly at the Swiss factory. He was soon promoted into the position of applications engineer due to his innate ability to learn new skills. Highly regarded as a quick learner and diligent worker, he rose to be one of the senior applications engineers.

After relocating to the U.S. as a senior applications engineer and with extensive travels in North America, he became very familiar with the techniques and methods that are prevalent in U.S. manufacturing. His widespread experience in the cutting tool field and CNC grinding machines made him an ideal candidate for this position. His support-oriented customer approach and his strategic mindset will benefit the team and enhance the effectiveness of the company in the competitive field of selling high-end CNC grinding machines.

“Daniel’s impressive track record working for our company and his ability to communicate and relate to people make him the ideal leader. Such qualities are key to expanding the brand name and drive the ever-evolving new technologies of the company. We fully expect that his talents will support the profitable growth of our business,” stated Eric Schwarzenbach, the president of Rollomatic in Mundelein.

Rollomatic is a world-leading builder of CNC tool/cutter and peel grinding machines, as well as laser cutting machines based in Le Landeron. Their headquarters are in Mundelein, with a state-of-the-art machine demonstration and customer support facility. Their sister company, Strausak Inc., is located in the same building.
