12 Feb 2014
US human machine interface (HMI) and sensor technology firm Interlink Electronics has announced it is creating a European division based in the UK.
The subsidiary, named Interlink Electronics Europe will serve as the company’s European regional sales office.
It will be headed up by Interlink’s new vice president of Global Sales and Business Development Neil Jarvie, who has joined the company from his role as vice president of Sales at Peratech, a firm that specialises in the R&D of touch-sensor materials used in HMI applications.

Jarvie has over 20 years’ experience in technology sales and studied electrical and electronic engineering at Newcastle Polytechnic (Northumbria University) in Newcastle.
“Neil’s deep understanding of finding successful commercial solutions and new application domains in the human-machine interface market aligns well with the future growth initiatives of Interlink Electronics,” said Interlink Electronics president and chief operating officer Howard D. Goldberg.
“Our new sales office in the UK allows us to fully leverage the inherent synergies in the strategic geographic triangle of USA, UK, and Asia. Additionally, the UK has a relevant history in human-machine interface materials and product innovation that dates back to the development of trackball devices used for WWII radar control.”
