The
Engineering Technology Group (ETG) has long been at the forefront of innovation with its range of high-end multi-axis machining solutions, and to complement this offering, the Wellesbourne-based company has appointed Ian Deacon as its new prismatic product manager.
ETG has created this new role as it recognises the importance of supporting manufacturers that encounter the challenges of everything from three-axis to complex five-axis machining that often requires innovative machining solutions, creative programming and machining strategies, strategic workholding technologies and even automation solutions for increasing productivity and reducing costs.
The machine tool supplier has long been an industry leader in prismatic machining with its impressive portfolio that includes Quaser, OPS Ingersoll, Chiron Group, bavius and the recently introduced AXILE brand. The brands cater for everything from simple to complex multi-axis machining and high-speed machining with automation that covers everything from the smallest to the largest of components.
To support manufacturers in identifying the right solutions, Mr Deacon has been employed to share his expertise with ETG customers and to streamline their journey to realise the most productive and profitable solutions to match their requirements. Over the last 30 years, he has worked as a senior application engineer, product manager, key account project manager and sales manager for a variety of leading brands.
During his career, Mr Deacon has supported manufacturing companies big and small - from small sub-contract manufacturers with simple requirements to multi-national OEMs — with complex turnkey projects for some of the most challenging projects. It is this expertise and understanding of customer requirements that will ensure ETG customers have the support they need to successfully navigate any machining challenges that may arise.
