- Staff expansion Public Relations and Global Sales.
- New headquarters Hopling Technologies in Almere.
Almere, November 16, 2006 - Hopling Technologies, a fast growing technology leader in IP-based wireless networking equipment for enterprises, operators and service providers, is pleased to announce the expansion of its staff with two recent hires: Public Relations Manager Iris de Kroon and Sales Director France Gérard Dupin.
Hopling Technologies was established in February 2004 and has been at the forefront of innovation in the wireless environment ever since. The company has grown to become leading industry provider of wireless mesh network solutions. Hopling Technologies is a privately held company, led by seasoned executives with extensive experience operating both enterprise software companies and large carrier networks. The company’s philosophy “Customer First” ensures that only by putting the customers first, can a viable business be created. This has been validated so far by the growth of the company and the demand for its mesh network solutions and services.
Iris de Kroon has joined the staff of Hopling Technologies as the company's new Public Relations Manager and will be responsible for all communication activities of Hopling Technologies for both the national and the international press. This will enhance the presence and name recognition of Hopling Technologies in the global wireless market. Gérard Dupin, the former Managing Director of Global Crossing France, had been appointed Sales Director France. Gérard has more than 30 years of experience in the telecom field. Based in Paris, he is in charge of all sales activities in France.
“Our ongoing campaign to recruit qualified staff for new positions will continue indefinitely, particularly as we are growing at an unprecedented rate. We are delighted to have these energetic, competent professionals join our team,” says Frank Koopman, Chief Executive Officer at Hopling Technologies.
In pace with the company’s growth was its August 2006 move to a new corporate headquarters. Situated on a prime location in a distinctive business park, the new headquarters combines expanded office and research & development space with a manufacturing unit, a 5000 feet logistics warehouse and the European repair center.
“The move was strategic,” says Frank Koopman. “By consolidating all activities on one campus, we are able to streamline operations and improve process efficiencies. Ultimately, the customer benefits: our team is more cohesive and our service is more responsive.”
