Bury-based Roxtec UK (www.roxtec.com) has appointed David Nistorica as marine and offshore manager.

He joins with 12 years’ experience in Aberdeen’s offshore, marine and oil and gas sectors.

Clive Sharp, Roxtec UK’s managing director, said: “David will be charged with building on Roxtec’s formidable track record in the maritime and offshore sector world-wide.

“In this new role, he will target the UK’s vibrant maritime engineering, ship repair and new-build markets.

“This may involve projects with carriers and cargo ships, cruise liners and ferries, offshore support vessels and super-yachts.

“We are also actively targeting the UK defence sector and naval work, in line with the new National Shipbuilding Strategy.”

Roxtec designs and manufactures transits that seal cables, metal pipes and plastic pipes.

They can be used in many applications in the maritime environment, including cabinets and enclosures, engine rooms, lighting and communication applications, fire sprinkler systems, hydraulic and compressed air systems, power generators, motors and thrusters.
