Chessington-based Mollart Engineering has appointed Anthony Westwood as its technical sales engineer covering England and Wales, as the company further expands its sub-contract machining and tooling operations.

He will also provide customer support to the deep-hole drilling and honing machine sales operations.

Managing director Ian Petitt said: “Anthony brings a strong commercial background to our sales team, having been previously involved in industrial product sales for a European-based company.”

Mr Westwood will support Mollart’s (www.mollart.com) existing customer base for sub-contract machining, assembly and tool supply in industry sectors including oil and gas, fluid power and hydraulics, sub-sea, defence, automotive and medical, as well as general engineering.

He is also tasked with attracting customers in new sectors that will be able to benefit from Mollart’s expanding services.

Following a recent agency agreement with honing specialist Ohio Tool Co for the supply of vertical and horizontal honing machines plus associated tooling and abrasives, Mollart Engineering has a wide product portfolio covering all aspects of hole production, including recessing and precise surface finishing.

The company also represents Botek, a world leader in deep-hole drilling tooling, plus Elliott and Ecoroll (roller burnishing) and Bencere (deburring and back-facing tools).
