Under his guidance, the site experienced impressive growth, achieving a remarkable 33% increase in sales and a notable 48% increase in profitability. Andrew's ability to optimize operations and drive results was a key factor in this success.
Andrew has held multiple senior leadership roles in complex material manufacturing businesses and has been appointed to Managing Director due to his comprehensive leadership experience and technical expertise. He brings a wealth of knowledge to his new position at Flintec USA. “I am truly excited to be joining the Flintec family providing technical solutions to the industry’s most challenging opportunities.”
