OPEN MIND Expands Team to Work With Irish Market
1 May 2014
As the market leading provider of CAM software for complex 5-axis machining applications, OPEN MIND Technologies has employed an application engineer to be permanently based in Ireland to develop and support the local market.
As an Irishman, Ryan McClure has been working in the UK for OPEN MIND for over three years, dealing with key customers in the aerospace and motorsport sectors. However, the recent addition of two new application engineers at OPEN MIND will give Ryan an opportunity to work in the more familiar Irish manufacturing industry, working out of Belfast.
Prior to his appointment at OPEN MIND, Ryan cut his teeth as a programmer with Irish aerospace subcontract company JW Kane producing complex components for the likes of Bombardier. This experience of working with globally renowned OEMs as well as prestigious subcontract manufacturers on both the programming and applications side of the fence, will be invaluable to the Irish CNC machining marketplace.
Commenting upon the change of geographical location for the highly regarded application engineer, OPEN MIND UK's Managing Director, Mr Adrian Smith comments: "Ireland historically has an extremely strong medical sector, however the aerospace industry is also growing at a rapid rate and we are supporting this growth by investing our expertise in the region. The aim for OPEN MIND is to improve our support and response function in Ireland for existing customers whilst developing our presence as a direct supplier to the Irish market."
Upon request, Ryan will be pleased to offer demonstrations of OPEN MIND's hyperMILL CAM Software and its capabilities to OEM and subcontract manufacturers throughout Ireland.
