Prior to joining Fine Tubes, Martin held various positions of responsibility at a number of manufacturing companies in the UK and US. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Economics as well as an extensive background in metals manufacture and engineering.

Martin said: “I am delighted to join Fine Tubes and believe I can make a real difference in my new role. Fine Tubes is an exciting business with plenty of growth opportunities. Being part of the wider AMETEK Specialty Metal Products Division (SMP) gives us the right blend of security and financial backing from a larger organisation, combined with the agility that comes with operating as a smaller entity within it. On a personal level, I love everything that goes with working with metal and the sectors that Fine Tubes operates in – aerospace, medical, oil and gas and nuclear – are all very exciting to me and offer significant future potential.”

Tom Matway, Vice President and General Manager at AMETEK Engineered Materials, Interconnects & Packaging added: “We are very pleased to welcome Martin to the Fine Tubes and AMETEK SMP team. His extensive experience in specialty metals, international business and commercial leadership will help grow our Fine Tubes business around the world.”
