International team grows

Cambridge Engineered Solutions, a metal conveyor belt manufacturer, has hired its first representative to support the company’s business growth in England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Kevin O’Brien, proprietor of Conveyor Belt Engineering, has been retained as Cambridge’s exclusive UK and Ireland representative.

“We are pleased to welcome Kevin to our growing international team,” says Tracy Tyler, president and CEO. “His vast knowledge of conveyor system operations and industry practices coupled with his trusted network, will deliver tremendous value to OEMs and food processing companies throughout the UK and Ireland.”

O’Brien is a respected solutions provider in Great Britain with 20 years product development and sales experience. He began his career with German-based Forbo Seigling and was a former manager of Ashworth Europe. For the past seven years, O’Brien has operated Conveyor Belt Engineering, Ltd, a strategic consulting business based in Yorkshire, England.

“I have long admired Cambridge’s manufacturing innovations. Their commitment to continuous process improvement and deep understanding of total cost of ownership are well known in food production and industrial manufacturing,” says O’Brien. “While Cambridge metal conveyor belts have been available through select OEMs and direct sales, this is the first time UK and Ireland-based companies will have a full-time, dedicated agent available 24-7.”
