New opportunitiesGüdel's UK operation gears up to support further growth

within both existing and new market sec-tors.

The recent appointment of Troy Mc-Court as UK Managing Director, together with the recruitment of additional sales and engineering staff, will be followed by further investment in a number of areas including the company’s IT systems.

Troy joins the company as a past user of

Güdel gantry robot systems in a previous role. “Having had experience of Güdel products and systems for a number of years, I was already impressed by the high quality and longevity of the company’s gantry robots and linear motion products. I am delighted to have joined this highly respected business and look forward to working with the team to take it to the next level.”

The remainder of 2017 will see Güdel UK Limited expand their activities within the Coventry site: increasing sales of modu-les and linear motion products, together with the provision of configured systems, for further integration by end users and system builders.

The individual components used to ma-nufacture Güdel’s modules and linear axis products ,are also sought after by end users and machine builders who wish to “build in” the same levels of quality and reliability within their own systems.
