Elite Thermal Systems has engaged a postdoctoral research engineer to strengthen its research and development team
Martyn Maguire took his PhD at Keele, and brings with him experience and knowledge in material composites, ceramics and metallurgy.
Maguire said: "I am looking forward to both the challenge and the rewards of applying new thinking and new materials to furnace design".
Alf Roberts, managing director of Elite Thermal Systems, commented: "We feel continual improvements in technology are important and strive to stay at the leading edge.
"I am confident that our ongoing investments in research and development will ultimately create greater success for the company by delivering greater benefit to our customers".
Elite produces a range a standard ovens and furnaces up to 2000C, which are suitable for many applications. Where specific thermal process characteristics are required, Elite will design a custom solution to meet the needs of the system.
