“The company is very forward thinking,” said Gibbens. “Recent innovations include the Honeycomb rotor driers, which tests have shown can use 35% less energy than conventional twin bed desiccant driers, and the Genesys range of PET drying systems, which consume only 65 W/Kg.
“The prospect of introducing these new important developments to customers is exciting and once I have settled in I look forward to getting out and about and meeting new customers to discuss what we can offer.”
Nick Fox, director and general manager of Piovan UK, added: “Andy and I both believe whole heartedly in the importance of customer support and care, and to this end Piovan UK has increased the number of engineers and strengthened our after-sales team for spare parts.
“The last couple of years have been tough for everyone in the industry but recent orders, particularly in PET processing, have given us a fantastic foundation to increase market share as we emerge from the recession.”
