Conex Bänninger has announced the appointment of Kyle McArthur as Regional Technical Sales Manager for Scotland and Northern Ireland.

McArthur joins from Emtec Group, where he was Contracts Supervisor; responsible for project execution and delivery. A qualified HVAC engineer, his wide-ranging experience gained within the sector has helped develop his commercial awareness, technical knowledge and problem-solving abilities.

Commenting on his new role, McArthur said: "I am looking forward to meeting existing customers and reaching out to many new ones. Over the coming months, I will be introducing myself to installers, contractors, specifiers and merchants, as I widen my network of contacts.

“It is great to have joined a global brand with a track record of innovation, and an impressive range of high-quality products, backed-up by a first-class technical support team.”

McArthur says that the industry is clearly witnessing an ongoing revolution, as installers move away from brazing to ‘press-fit’ – a change that will gather pace over the next five to 10 years.

He concluded: “Press-fit is definitely the future. Therefore, educating apprentices, trainees and installers that may not have switched yet about the benefits of press is a good pathway to introducing them to Conex Bänninger’s high quality range of press-fit products.”
