| Specialising in continuous casting technology for non-ferrous metals, Rautomead International Ltd, UK, has recently announced the appointment of Mr Mervyn Cooper as new product line manager. Mr Cooper, who holds a degree in mechanical engineering and a MBA, has worked with the company since 1984, most recently as manufacturing manager. In his new position, he will oversee the launch and marketing of new Rautomead products as they emerge from the company's on-going programme of technical development. He will also work in close co-operation with the engineering, manufacturing, sales and finance departments to ensure that each product performs to Rautomead's standards while meeting the needs and expectations of its UK and international customers.
One of the first product lines for which Mr Cooper will take responsibility is the production of copper redraw rod from scrap. The company has received numerous requests for such a process and the launch of the technology follows an intensive programme of technical development, pilot scale casting and wire drawing. Development is already well advanced for other products which, under Mr Cooper's supervision, will be progressively added to the range.
