MecWash MD has exports in his sights
John Pattison has joined aqueous-based component cleaning equipment MecWash Systems as managing director.
He brings extensive financial and marketing experience to the organisation, with a background that includes time at both KPMG and Coopers and Lybrand.
He will focus on developing the company's export record, not least by growing its overseas distribution network. An example of this is the recent distribution partnership between MecWash Systems and Metalas Cleaning Systems BV. In a related move, Dave Buckle, who previously ran Metalas sales operation in the UK, has joined MecWash as UK sales manager.
In addition to the bilateral distribution agreement with Metalas, MecWash Systems director Paul Young has been expanding distribution by signing an agreement with Alpagem, to distribute in France, and an agreement with Godfrey & Wing, to distribute in North America.
Alpagem are experienced in the component cleaning industry, having represented some of the leading German manufacturers in France. Godfrey & Wing has a broad experience of surface treatment, and both supply machinery and undertake contract processing for their customers.
"Everybody involved in industry will be fully aware of the difficulties anticipated for this year, but it is our firm belief that these are best addressed by positive commitment based on delivering proven systems, high performance and good value," continued John Pattison. "Before joining MecWash, I telephoned numerous customers to get their impression of the business. It was customers' ringing endorsements that convinced me the MecWash proposition really does meet the needs of modern manufacturing, and I am delighted to have joined such a dynamic company."
