Penn Elcom’s Group Designer James Hatton is undoubtedly one of the most well-known employees at the company, having started at Penn Elcom (then Penn Fabrication) in February 1994.
For those that don’t know, James is the mastermind behind some of Penn Elcom’s best-selling and groundbreaking products including the MOL3 Latches, L0747 Overlatches, P2253 Lid Stays, R4000 Server Rack Series and the R8010 Slide & Rotate System to name a few!
Despite his long service, unrivalled product design expertise and industry knowledge, James is perhaps most infamous (at least to his Hastings, UK co-workers) for religiously sporting a Penn Fabrication sweatshirt:
James received this sweatshirt back in 1996, and although it has served him well, we couldn’t help but feel he was due a little upgrade…
This merchandise is reserved for competition winners who have joined our #PennOnTour campaign, but as a small thank you for all his hard work, we gifted James a brand new #PennOnTour sweatshirt:
The new merchandise features our campaign branding on the front, and an updated depots list with opening dates on the back in a concert/tour style, paying homage to James’ original Penn Fabrication version.
Thank you for your continued and excellent contributions to Penn Elcom James! We hope you enjoy your new sweatshirt! :)
