Barre, Vt.-based Northern Power Systems, a wind turbine company and manufacturer of community wind turbines, has named Taylor Robinson to the position of vice president of global supply chain.
Robinson will apply his supply chain experience in the wind industry to help Northern Power manage its supply chain network for its permanent magnet direct-drive turbine technology.
Before Northern Power Systems, Robinson was the executive vice president of supply chain at Watts Water Technologies, a global manufacturer of water quality. His wind industry experience includes serving as a senior consultant to LM Glasfiber, a manufacturer of wind turbine blades.
