The company has appointed Brian Andrews and James Langham following a period of significant growth in Ireland, during which Altus has secured several new customer accounts and increased activity across the region. The appointments will further strengthen local service and technical support capabilities as demand for the company‘s solutions continues to grow.
Mike Todd, Operations Director at Altus Group, said: “Following the tragic passing of our colleague and field service engineer, Michal Ostrykiewicz, earlier this year, it was important to us that we took the right action because of how highly regarded he was by both customers and colleagues. Michal played a significant role in establishing our reputation for technical support in Ireland and helped create the strong foundations we continue to build upon today.”
Todd continued: “We wanted to honour that legacy by continuing to invest in our Irish operation and maintain the momentum he helped create. As our customer base in Ireland continues to grow, maintaining the high levels of aftersales support our customers expect remains a priority. Brian and James both bring valuable industry experience and will play an important role in supporting our customers as we continue our ambition of becoming the go-to partner for electronics manufacturers across Ireland.”
Andrews joins Altus with extensive experience gained across both equipment suppliers and electronics manufacturing operations. Having previously held positions with Mycronic covering the UK and Ireland before moving into an Operations Manager role with Smart Electronics, he brings experience from both supplier and manufacturer perspectives. Based in the Shannon region, he will support customers throughout Ireland with equipment installation, service and technical support.
Langham joins Altus from Moog, where he most recently worked as a Maintenance Engineer. Based in Cork, he brings valuable manufacturing experience and a strong understanding of equipment maintenance, uptime and production support. His background provides first-hand insight into the challenges faced by electronics manufacturers and the importance of responsive technical support.
Both engineers will undergo extensive supplier training and mentoring programmes over the coming months, working closely with customers while continuing to develop their expertise across Altus‘ portfolio of manufacturing technologies.
The appointments represent the latest stage in Altus’ investment in Ireland, following the establishment of its Irish entity, investment in local facilities and continued expansion of its team.
