Flow Power Corporation, a hydropower and hydrokinetic renewable
energy company, welcomes the addition of Robert Mamo as Vice President
of Manufacturing for its wholly-owned subsidiary, Free Flow Power
Technology LLC. Mr. Mamo will oversee the manufacturing of the
SmarTurbine Generator, which extracts energy from moving water
without building new dams or diversions or causing other adverse
environmental impacts.
Mr.
Mamo was previously a Director in Lear Corporation’s International
Automotive Components Group, where his responsibilities included
products developed for Toyota and Lexus in North America. His
experience includes 20 years at Lear, Textron, and GM where he
led engineering teams that brought over 40 products from design
to large-scale manufacturing.
Daniel
Irvin, CEO of Free Flow Power Corporation, commented, “We
are excited that Bob has decided to join Free Flow Power. High
volume manufacturing is a critical part of our plans to make hydrokinetic
generation cost effective. We decided some time ago that the person
we needed was likely going to be from the auto industry. For all
of its challenges, Detroit is the world leader in cost-effective,
high-volume manufacturing. The knowledge and experience that Bob
brings us from that industry would be hard to find anywhere else.”
Mr.
Mamo remarked, “I wanted to move into an industry with more
growth potential, but where my manufacturing experience was relevant.
I looked at a lot of different opportunities, and I did a lot
of diligence. Free Flow Power’s technology and its team
are really exciting to me.”
