IXON Expands into the UK with New Distributor HMK Automation

We’re delighted to announce our inaugural UK partnership with HMK Automation, the country’s leading independent supplier of integrated drive systems. This collaboration marks the first official IXON distributor in the UK and positions us to deliver advanced IIoT solutions to manufacturers across Britain.

Timing that Matters

The surge in demand for remote service solutions, accelerated by the COVID‑19 pandemic, has underscored the need for flexible, on‑site‑free maintenance. With HMK’s expertise and IXON’s cutting‑edge IIoT platform, manufacturers can adapt quickly and keep production lines running.

Nick Calow, Technical Director at HMK Automation, noted: “We pride ourselves on partnering with the most innovative suppliers at the forefront of technology. Joining forces with IXON aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering state‑of‑the‑art solutions.”

Rapid UK Growth

Over the past year, IXON Cloud has experienced rapid expansion across the UK. Daniel Fern, our UK Sales Manager, highlights that “hundreds of British machine manufacturers and system integrators now rely on IXON Cloud to unlock the full potential of IIoT, especially during the pandemic.”

By enabling remote access to machinery, IXON Cloud eliminates the need for on‑site visits, saving time and reducing costs. In a world where physical interaction is limited, this capability is more valuable than ever.
