Machine tool industry specialist Sandy Berry is joining the Erith-based company as regional sales manager for the Midlands.
Starting his career in engineering as toolmaker, Berry moved into the machine tool sector, initially as a service engineer, before embarking on his long career in sales, with the past 10 years spent in the grinding sector selling a broad range of grinding technology.
He says: “I have known RK International as a competitor for many years, so appreciate the strength of their product portfolio. Given the diversity of their grinding equipment, as well as metalcutting machines, this is a great opportunity for me to make use of the contacts and experience that I have accumulated over the years.”
The firm says that MACH 2018 will be a fantastic opportunity to rekindle contacts.
Adds Simon Rood, director and general manager at RK International Machine Tools: “We are pleased to have gained Sandy as a colleague here at RK International Machine Tools, his specialist understanding of the grinding sector will mean that he can hit the ground running and maximise his extensive experience within that sector. Sandy will be on our stand at MACH 2018 and this will provide customers old and new to tap into his detailed knowledge.”
