“Chris brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the group, based on the contribution he made to the business success of SCM and more recently Biesse,” said AAG’s senior vice-president of sales and marketing, Doug LoFranco.
Mr Arend will be based at AAG’s UK and Ireland machine assembly and distribution centre in Telford, Shropshire. He will lead the EMEA team and oversee the continued success of the group’s AXYZ, WARDJet and CNCShop.com power brands.
“With my previous experience and familiarity with industries similar to those served by AAG, I hope to enlarge the group’s already considerable customer base,” he said.
