2/21/24, 5:16 PM Experienced Sella Controls Manager to lead HIMA Global Rail | MENAFN.COM
Jörg de la Motte, CEO of HIMA commented: “The global rail and metro industry is seeing
significant investment over the next ten years. Infrastructure is being modernised with the use

of digitalised safety systems to improve performance and decarbonise our transport networks.
This is a key growth market for HIMA. Chris’ appointment is a logic next step, just one year

after Sella Controls became part of HIMA: With his many years’ of industry experience, he will
provide focus and support to the HIMA Rail business globally. That will help to drive forward
and strengthen our relationships with customers and partners, and expand our market

offering.”

Chris Elliott began his career as a control systems engineer, before joining rail industry
specialist Transmitton Limited in 1997. In 2007, Chris joined Sella Controls where he
developed into the position as Director for Rail Business Development until HIMA’s acquisition

in 2023.
Elliott commented: “HIMA have developed a reputation globally in the field of functional safety.

With the digitalisation of control systems, HIMA is able to bring this to its rail business
alongside a more diverse capability and offering. Environmental change is driving significant

investment across all of our regional offices and I look forward to working with our global sales
management team, our partner network and our client base as we grow HIMA’s rail business”.

In addition to this new role, Chris will continue as Head of Sales at Sella Controls, driving
forward HIMA’s UK rail business growth.
