Henco Viljoen started with Nyle in 2019 as a Sales Engineer. First introduced to Nyle during an installation of a kiln in his native country of South Africa, Henco felt a connection to Nyle and their values as a company. His decades of experience and wealth of knowledge regarding lumber drying and kiln optimization soon made Henco the perfect candidate for his current position as the Drying Specialist.

Before Nyle, Henco co-ran his own business, Timbersoft CC, in South Africa with his father, Johan, aiding sawmills in the optimization of their drying process. Henco attributes a lot of his current knowledge to the years of mentoring his father, who has 50+ years of hands-on experience in the lumber industry.

Henco enjoys hunting, camping, and spending time with his wife and two children in his spare time.
