Macfarlane brings a background of 20 years engineering expertise from apprentice through production engineering to plant manager before entering tooling sector sales where he rose to the position of sales manager.
Says general manager Trevor Tolley: “Kenny is well-known in the north of England and Scotland as having a particular experience in the oil and gas sector plus the machining of exotic materials which fits exactly into our latest tooling developments.”
Adds Macfarlane: “Sumitomo’s product range is well respected in the north of England and Scotland and to support applications in often difficult materials, ‘across-the-board’ experience involving a ‘local’ person is very important.This helps create customer confidence to not only improve productivity but also to have the awareness of what is available in the latest generation of tooling development.”
