AEGIS EUROPE EXPANDS EUROPEAN APPLICATIONS
CHELTENHAM, UK – 20th October 2005 – Aegis Europe, a leader in
Manufacturing Information Management systems for global electronics
assemblers, has appointed Justin Hardwicke to its European team, in the
role of european applications consultant.
Justin joins the growing European operations and is responsible for
pre-sales activities, product introduction, installation and training at
Aegis. Bringing many years experience in technical sales and support,
Justin previously held sales and engineering roles at Sony Manufacturing
Systems Europe, and engineering positions at AIWA.
Commenting on his appointment, Justin said, “Though companies are moving
manufacturing plants to Eastern Europe and the Far East to save
production costs, most of the companies still producing in Europe tend
to be extremely quality conscious, such as in the automotive, medical
device and defence industries. I feel there is a huge potential in
helping these sectors to implement manufacturing Execution Systems
providing traceability, real-time quality data collection and analytics
to assist them in maintaining their distinctive local manufacturing
advantages. Aegis has the products to achieve this and I’m keen to
become a part of the company’s growing success.”
“As part of our business expansion plans in Europe, and our move to new
headquarters, we are pleased to welcome Justin to the busy team. All
customers are looking to reduce manufacturing expenses and we see the
cost of materials, and holding more costly stock than is necessary as
being one of the most significant areas. In using Aegis software for
materials control it is possible to dramatically reduce surplus material
inventory and reduce line set-up times while achieving an ROI almost
immediately. One of Justin’s challenges is to work with customers in
this area and demonstrate the immense productivity gains and fast
payback on investment,” said Barrie Upton, managing director at Aegis
Europe.
