Rainbow Dynamics announces key appointment to targets US and Canada

Rainbow Dynamics, the UK-based developer and manufacturer of robotic and automated materials handling solutions, has announced the appointment of Keith Gallant as its general manager for the USA and Canada.

In his new role Keith will be responsible for identifying growth opportunities and fostering the strategic partnerships that will enable Rainbow Dynamics to expand its presence within the US and Canadian intralogistics markets.

Prior to joining Rainbow Dynamics Keith Gallant held a senior sales and marketing position with Dorabot – a robotics systems integrator. His CV also features Arobotic X, a company that represents manufacturers of a broad range of automation and robotics technology. The time spent at these two organisations has given Keith a unique insight into the logistics robotics sales process and the interplay between system integrators and OEMs.

His extensive experience and expertise includes the design and implementation of pallet- and case-level AS/RS solutions, automated guided vehicles and robotic pick, pack and palletising applications for clients operating within diverse industry sectors.

Keith Gallant’s appointment comes at an exciting time for Rainbow Dynamics as the company continues to enhance its technology and product offerings and grow its global presence.

Rainbow Dynamics’ founder and CEO, Alfred Chen, commented: “I am thrilled to welcome Keith to the Rainbow Dynamics team. The USA and Canada play a pivotal role in our forecast growth trajectory and, with his proven track record in driving sustainable business development and spearheading commercial strategies, Keith Gallant a perfect fit.”

Keith Gallant said, “This is an incredible opportunity, and I am very excited to join Rainbow Dynamics at a time when the company’s growth is accelerating. My highest priority is to encourage open lines of communication between Rainbow Dynamics and its channel partners to ensure that the partners feel well-supported, respected and appreciated.”

There is huge demand among logistics companies across Canada and the USA for technology that will help improve the efficiency of their supply chain. Indeed, a recent report by Texas-based SNS Insider forecasts that the US logistics automation and robotics market will be worth US$ 33.08 billion by 2032. According to the SNS Insider study, the growth is being fuelled by the increase in online shopping which is now thought to account for some 22% of US retail sales.

“With consumers demanding next- or even same-day delivery of their order, ecommerce retailers are under growing pressure to provide ultra-fast order fulfilment. As a result, investment in automation and robotics is now regarded as essential for any company looking to improve warehouse functions and boost order processing efficiency.” Keith Gallant added.

With its head office in the UK, Rainbow Dynamics offers a suite of agile robotic load handing solutions for logistics warehouses, manufacturing sites and e-commerce fulfilment centres.
