ick Cummings has been appointed as Area Sales Manager for Tsubakimoto,

Prior to his appointment
at Tsubaki, Nick has a strong background in engineering related sales and energy efficiency consultancy. He has previously worked with the Carbon Trust, carrying out site- surveys for industrial businesses to assess their energy usage and recommend solutions to reduce their carbon footprint and their running costs. As an
application engineer for a leading engineering services provider, Nick learnt the importance of considering long term performance and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) when making a specification decision. Nick comments: “Tsubaki’s
philosophy of offering customers a solution that is both ecologically and economically beneficial over the long term fits perfectly with my background, which is why I wanted to work with the company. I am a solutions seller with the experience to work with clients’ engineers to deliver real-term and quantifiable savings within their application. Tsubaki’s range of premium drive chain and power transmission products allows me to do this, rather than simply trying to make a sale based on outright purchase cost instead of long term performance.” Derek Mack, UK Sales Director, adds: “Nick will be responsible for working closely with our

Coventry’s Aerocom Metals looks to expand in South East Asia
Coventry-based Aerocom Metals (Aerocom), a leading provider of high-strength steel tubes to a global manufacturing client base, is to look to expand further into South East Asia following a total funding package of £955,000 from Santander Corporate & Commercial.
Aerocom, which now operates out of a 25,000 sq. ft. corporate headquarters in Coventry, has benefitted from strong demand for its high-grade product range. The firm has provided steel tubing to a wide range of clients, in particular in the aerospace and motor sport sectors, even
supplying their products to projects restoring old Hurricanes and Spitfires. The aerospace industry continues to be a core focus for the company, and plan to exhibit at the aircraft interiors expo in Hamburg next year following a huge success at Farnborough International Airshow in July this year. While the business has representation in multiple international markets including India, Malaysia, China, Japan, as well as various European countries, the funding from Santander Corporate & Commercial will allow Aerocom to penetrate further into
the South East Asian region and its fast-developing aerospace market. Aerocom plans to exhibit at the PRI (Performance Racing Industry) show in Indianapolis to develop further motorsport business in North America.
Simon Littleford, Director, Aerocom Metals Limited, said: “I am delighted with how successful our business has become and feel confident that we can continue this success in the future. We see international expansion as a key part of our business plan and have been impressed with the knowledge and experience provided by Santander.”

Santander is committed to helping UK companies grow both at home and overseas, with our considerable global strength and expertise, we are well placed to help businesses in the West Midlands with their international growth plans.”
