Birmingham-based Starrag UK Ltd (www.starrag.com) has bolstered its nation-wide sales team by appointing Phil Roberts as sales manager.

His role will include focusing on customers in Starrag’s target areas of aerospace and energy, transportation, industrial equipment and medical devices.

Mr Roberts has more than 20 years’ experience in production engineering and machine tool sales, especially in developing solutions for complex turning and multi-axis milling applications — skills that Starrag says ‘align perfectly’ with the company’s maxim of ‘engineering precisely what you value’.

Starrag UK offers products from Berthiez, Bumotec, Dörries, Droop+Rein, Ecospeed, Hecke, Scharmann, SIP and Starrag.
