Sole UK distributor of Sodick linear motor-driven EDM technology Sodi-Tech has appointed two new directors.
The announcement comes at the conclusion of "another record-breaking year of successful sales", reports the company.
Chris Hellyer takes up the role of sales director, with responsibility for the sales team and customers across the UK and Southern Ireland, while Bill Thomas becomes technical director, with particular responsibility for special projects in the aerospace sector.
Both men are long-standing members of the Sodi-Tech team in Coventry, having joined the company at its formation, over 20 years ago.
Managing director, Peter Capp, commented: "I can honestly say that the dedicated and unstinting efforts of Chris and Bill have been critical to the success of this company, helping it to grow from its modest beginnings to our current position as market leaders.
"Having been personally involved with the initial sale and on-going support of many of the 1,500+ Sodick machines installed over the length and breadth of the country, both Bill and Chris are well known to many in the industry – who will, I am sure, join with me in congratulating them on their well deserved appointments."
