Brüel & Kjær Vibro (B&K Vibro), an independent supplier of condition monitoring solutions for rotating machinery, has named Volker Polonyi as its new CEO and president.

Polonyi brings with him 35 years of experience in bearing and linear technology, having also served as NSK’s managing director for industrial bearing sales; sector manager for wind power technology; and head of application development.

“In his many years with NSK, Volker has successfully developed and executed commercial and digital strategies that create customer value through technology. The expertise that he brings from NSK, coupled with his industry knowledge and leadership skills, are exactly the right combination to drive the condition monitoring business of B&K Vibro to the next level. His appointment marks an exciting milestone for B&K Vibro,” said Dai Kodama, NSK’s chief integration officer.

“There are clear synergies between B&K Vibro and NSK, with a huge degree of shared talent and knowledge and we have been working together successfully to deliver exciting, innovative business and engineering solutions. As CEO and president of B&K Vibro, I am looking forward to working with our customers, colleagues and partners to expand our business, capture new markets and drive long-term growth,” Polonyi said.
