BLACKBURN, England (July 26, 2013) – Precision Polymer Engineering (PPE) has appointed Jamie Hill as Regional OEM Sales Manager for the UK following a rigorous recruitment process.

Hill joined the company on June 24 and will be responsible for developing new business opportunities for advanced sealing solutions within PPE’s existing markets of oil & gas, aerospace, food & dairy, diesel engine, pump & valve, pharmaceutical, process engineering and general manufacturing.

Hill joins PPE having spent 22 years in technical sales, providing engineering solutions to a wide range of industries. In his previous role, Hill was sales manager for a specialist gasket and seals manufacturer, where he spent four years developing the gasket and seals market.

This appointment brings great benefits to existing and new customers of PPE, who will now have an additional point of contact in the UK for all technical, sales and after sales support, covering all the advanced sealing solutions provided by PPE.  Hill’s extensive technical knowledge and excellent account management skills will prove a real asset to both PPE and the customers he will be working closely with.
 
Although PPE is an international company exporting the majority of advanced elastomer seals it manufactures, PPE has invested in this role primarily to support customers in England, Wales and Ireland, with particular focus on industrial equipment manufacturers with critical applications.

Paul Gillyon, PPE Managing Director said "Jamie is a real asset to PPE, and his knowledge and skills will undoubtedly prove invaluable to our customers. We all welcome Jamie to PPE and look forward to working alongside him on many interesting projects."

Precision Polymer Engineering Ltd (PPE) is a provider of high performance O-rings, technical mouldings and sealing solutions to a diverse range of industries.

Founded in 1975, and based in Blackburn, England, PPE has sales offices and dealers in the U.S., Europe and Asia. The company’s success is based on the continual development of new elastomer materials combined with exceptional levels of customer service and technical support.

In 2010, PPE was acquired by IDEX Corporation, a fluid and metering technologies company, serving a wide variety of high growth specialized markets.
