Announcing today that it was on course to meet profit expectations for the year to 31 March, the 600 Group took the opportunity to introduce a new chairman and a US disposal.
With the benefits of the investment in sales and marketing start to be realised, the group said the level of new orders was encouraging.
It has appointed EEF boss Martin Temple as a non-executive director with immediate effect and said he will succeed Professor Michael Wright as non-executive chairman of the group when Wright retires at the end of July.
A one-time British Steel manager, Temple is the director general of the manufacturers organisation EEF formerly known as the Engineering Employers Federation, a position he has held since 1999.
The group also said that in line with its strategy of focusing on the national distribution of machine tools across the whole of North America, it has agreed to sell regional distributor, Erickson Machine Tools, to its management and entered into an agreement with that business to distribute its full range of machine tools in the states of Iowa and Nebraska.
