MiR Appoints New President



Jean-Pierre Hathout

Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR), a manufacturer of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), has appointed Jean-Pierre Hathout as company President. Hathout replaces Walter Vahey, who will remain with the company as an adviser until his planned retirement in 2024.

Hathout comes from a role as president of SIT Controls USA. Prior to this, he built a 17-year career at Bosch, including several international management roles. Hathout has a doctoral degree in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, and he brings deep technological expertise and global leadership skills, including management of operations in the U.S., Germany, the Netherlands, Turkey and China. He successfully managed the integration of multiple companies acquired by Bosch.

"This unique balance of leadership and engineering strengths will equip Jean-Pierre to be a great leader for MiR as the company continues to grow to become the global leader in AMRs," Vahey said.
