Extrusion tooling firm Guill names new European representative

West Warwick, Rhode Island – US-based extrusion tooling company Guill Tool has appointed EuroDev as its new European sales representative, providing full line of Guill products across Europe, excluding the UK.

Founded in Almelo, The Netherlands in 1996, EuroDev is particularly focused on helping North American companies map out expansion strategies in an “increasingly complex marketplace”.

The company’s sales outsourcing includes market research, entry strategy, lead generation and sales, Guill announced 23 April.

In the UK, Padraic Lunn will continue to represent the US supplier, with over 16 years of experience in precision extrusion.

According to Guill, Padraic Lunn offers “a full range of extrusion machinery and consultancy for all extrusion processes with a strong emphasis on tubing, wire, pipe and profile applications.”

The firm represents extrusion equipment companies in the UK, Ireland and other parts of Europe.

It also provides “customised extrusion training programmes” based on a customer’s specific process requirements.

Guill also said it had promoted Rob Peters to the general manager position.

Peters is a graduate of Cornell University, holding a BSc in science in mechanical engineering and an MSc in aerospace engineering.

He has worked at Guill for eight years, starting as an R&D manager. He was most recently director of technology at the company.

Peters will now be responsible for various operations at Guill and reports directly to company ownership.
