PRESS RELEASE
St. Louis-based Nidec Motor Corp.’s U.S. MOTORS division promoted two long-time staffers to senior roles: Cory Kniepp is now director of strategic planning and marketing operations, and Patrick Hogg is senior marketing director of industrial OEMs and distribution.
In his new role, Kniepp will support growth initiatives, collaborating with senior management in shaping business strategy and conducting data analysis to ensure continued alignment with goals. He was previously director of marketing operations. He joined Nidec in 2017 as a market manager.
Hogg will continue to lead the company’s industrial pumping, distribution and general industry markets, along with a stronger focus on business development for these and other growing markets in the industrial segment. He has been with Nidec for more than 16 years (including when U.S. MOTORS was part of Emerson).
In that time, Hogg has moved up from engineering co-op through customer design marketing and product management. For the past three years, he has been director of marketing for the industrial markets.
