Purex International (Rotherham, UK), a manufacturer of fume extraction products, has appointed Paul Schofield in the role of customer support applications engineer. Schofield gained engineering experience during his time with the Royal Navy, GEC Marconi and BAE Systems.
The expansion of the engineering support department at Purex is due not only to a large increase in sales this year, but also because customers are benefiting from the close customer/supplier relationship encouraged by Purex.
Schofield said, "It is commonly accepted that if a process or task generates hazardous fumes, then to comply with occupational health and safety regulations a fume extraction system should be utilized. However, more and more customers who are purchasing fume extraction systems are asking us for engineering support as they try to reduce process costs, increase productivity and eliminate downtime."
Schofield can be contacted at: +44 (0)1709 763000.

Valor Computerized Systems (Yavne, Israel), a provider of productivity increasing engineering software solutions to the electronics design and manufacturing industry, announced that it has received orders for its Trilogy 5000 Assembly Engineering platform from Taiwanese original design manufacturer (ODM) Inventec.
Valor's decision to concentrate on the Far East as the largest emerging marketplace for outsourced electronics manufacturing services (EMS) has recently been affirmed through additional sales of the assembly platform to PC notebook, desktop and server manufactures in Taiwan, who are facing globalization challenges in the electronics manufacturing arena and need to offer trans-continental portability solutions to their internationally operating customer base.
"The new product introduction market in Taiwan is one of the most dynamic in the world, in terms of product types and products shipped," said Uri Michaelis, president of Valor Far East. "Taiwan manufacturers, as a whole, ship more than 65% of notebook PCs to the world markets. The fact that many Taiwanese manufacturers transfer production lines to China, makes it a key market in terms of defining the technology needs in Greater China."
Valor's Far East organization currently has five offices in Hong-Kong, Taiwan, South, East and North China, and expects to double its work force within the year.
