About Us

Since 1933, the industrial sector has looked to IEN for the latest news and information on products, components and equipment.

Applying this knowledge to their purchasing decisions has led the industrial engineer to solutions that ensure operational efficiency and cost effectiveness in their manufacturing and product development initiatives.

IEN continues in its product-centric traditions by leveraging print, web, video, email, and social media to distribute this vital information.

The new IEN still produces a bi-monthly print publication, but we have also launched a collection of daily e-newsletters supported by a constantly updated, new IEN.com, and a new web series, Manufacturing Now. The brand can also be tracked on Twitter (@IEN_Now), Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn.

IEN is led by President Tom Lynch, Regional Sales Manager Chuck Marin, Director of Multimedia Eric Sorensen, and the editorial team of Anna Wells, David Mantey, and Jeff Reinke.
