Wohler Appoints Director Engineering

Wohler Technologies has announced the appointment of Steve Farmer as the company's director of engineering. Mr Farmer will be responsible for consolidating and focusing the company's engineering efforts to target key markets.

Mr Farmer began his engineering career after earning a degree in electronic systems engineering from the University of Essex and completing an apprenticeship at Thorn EMI Ferguson. In his first professional role, he rose to the position of senior design engineer at Northern Telecom Defence Systems Division.
He subsequently joined the GEC-Marconi Future Systems Laboratory as a principal engineer and then moved on to Drake Electronics in the broadcast sector, developing communications and talkback systems for studios and OB facilities. When Drake was acquired by the Vitec Group in 1998, he moved from the role of engineering manager to director of engineering for both Drake and Clear-Com in the Bay Area.
In 2005, Mr Farmer founded Claratech Limited, which later acquired both BAL Broadcast and Faraday Technology Corporation. More recently, he founded DSMB Technology, which develops a variety of video, audio and communication products for specific clients.
"Wohler's engineering team has always been the heart of the company, and we have remained a leader in the field by listening to our customers and delivering unique solutions," said Carl J. Dempsey, Wohler president and CEO. "Steve brings to Wohler a wealth of experience and a history of delivering results. His work will aid us not only in maintaining our role as an extension of customers' own engineering resources, but also in continuing to marry our very successful monitoring technologies with our groundbreaking stream-based and file-based solutions."
