News: New face at CMD
Innovative manufacturing company, CMD Ltd, has appointed Chris Birch as the new head of Manufacturing and Logistics.
Based at Eastwood, the company has a product range offering underfloor power systems, lighting and power busbars, lighting control systems, together with office power, cable management and ergonomic solutions.
Distribution deals see the products exported to Ireland, India, UAE and Australia.
Closer to home, CMD supplied specially designed underfloor powertrack, floor boxes and desk boxes for Riverside House, Rotherham Borough Council's new multi-million pound offices.
Chris will be responsible for the product manufacturing and warehouse operation at CMD and joins from The Manitowoc Company, where he was manufacturing and continuous improvement manager for nearly nine years. Previous to this, Chris worked for automotive carpet manufacturer Rieter.
Established in 1984, CMD underwent a management buyout in June 2008 and still strongly believe in the benefits and traditions of British manufacturing. For example, 95% of the parts used in the making of the Air and Motion Arms, the lightweight monitor arms, are sourced in the UK, with 80% sourced locally.
Chris (pictured) said: "I chose to join CMD as they are an established company with great potential for improvements and growth in the future. I have always enjoyed a challenge and CMD will provide me the perfect platform to build on the already successful business.
"There is a really good feel about the place as CMD is a company which is willing to embrace change and move the business forward."
As head of Manufacturing and Logistics, Chris will lead a team of over 100 people into lean manufacturing, with the ultimate aim of having a world class manufacturing and logistics facility at the company's Head Office Site in Rotherham.
