艾森哈特作为首席运营官加入A123系统：

克里斯·艾森哈特于10月加入A123系统公司，担任首席运营官。他接替了埃德·科普科夫斯基，后者于5月离开公司，成为德克斯特·亚历克斯公司的首席运营官，

艾森哈特将在全球领导A123的制造、质量和供应链组织，特别是监督公司在未来两年内将生产能力提高一倍以上的计划。

今年早些时候，A123宣布了一系列业务扩张举措，其在美国和中国的设施投资总额超过3亿美元。该公司表示，正在加快计划，以达到1.5千兆瓦的全球制造能力。

艾森哈特在转向零部件供应商斯巴达克斯钢铁产品公司之前，先在福特汽车公司工作。最近，他在约翰逊控制公司的一个部门领导运营。他还在李尔王公司担任高级运营职务。

A123首席执行官贾森·福克尔(Jason Forcier)表示:“艾森哈特将在设施和组织发展两方面大力关注我们的大规模扩张，以实现世界级的效率。”。

Chris Eisenhart joined A123 Systems in October as its chief operations officer. He takes over from Ed Kopkowski who left the company in May to become COO of Dexter Alex Company,

Eisenhart will head A123’s manufacturing, quality and supply chain organizations globally and, in particular, oversee the company’s plan to more than double manufacturing capacity within the next two years.

Earlier this year, A123 announced a series of business expansion initiatives totalling more than $300 million in capital investments between its facilities in the US and China. The company say it is accelerating plans to reach 1.5 GWh of global manufacturing capacity.

Eisenhart started at Ford Motor Company before moving to the component supplier Spartanburg Steel Products. More recently he headed operations in a unit of Johnson Controls. He has also held a senior operations position at Lear Corporation.

“Eisenhart will be sharply focused on execution of our massive expansion both in terms of facilities and the organizational development to run them at world-class efficiency,” said Jason Forcier, A123 chief executive.

A123 says it will increase its total battery capacity produced annually to 1.5 gigawatt hours at its plants in Michigan; Hangzhou, China; and Changzhou, China, over the next three years
