New recruit boosts customer support at Ellesco

Mr Berndt will be using his knowledge of the sector to provide detailed customer support across the full range of equipment offered by Ellesco. This ranges from its consumable items for deburring and finishing to the machines and systems that make use of those consumables, specifically Timesavers’ range of rotary brush and belt deburring, edge rounding, finishing and oxide removal machines.

“This is a fantastic opportunity to work with world-leading brands and be a part of Ellesco’s continuing success in this area of manufacturing,” said Mr Berndt.

In addition to Timesavers, Ellesco represents several major brands including Autopulit providing a range of fully automatic and CNC machines for polishing, abrasive belt grinding, deburring and micro-finishing of metal parts; VG Machines for sanding, grinding and brushing machines for processing wood and metal components; Peitzmeier whose range is designed for surface processing of stainless steel, steel and aluminium, with emphasis on weld-seams and grinding and polishing surfaces; KBM with its range of continuous belt machinery for dressing, blending, graining and brushing; and WMS, which is expert in delivering automated solutions for deburring, including robotic handling systems.

Vincent Simonis, managing director of Ellesco, said: “Armin’s appointment comes at an exciting time for Ellesco after we finished 2017 with a record order intake in December, and this positive trend has continued in the first quarter of 2018.

“Having additional resource to provide ongoing customer support is vital in maintaining this momentum and Armin will have a wide-reaching role to drive sales growth across the business as well as providing applications expertise to further enhance the productivity of our customers.”
