From his base in Brazil, Henrique Kajiyama will manage engineering projects and support technical sales throughout the region
Malvern Instruments has appointed Henrique Kajiyama to the post of project engineer - process systems.
He has more than 15 years experience in industrial and process equipment design, in both Brazil and Japan.
His appointment significantly enhances the support that Malvern provides to customers in South America for its on-line and at-line particle characterisation systems.
This appointment follows the announcement last year of Malvern's groundbreaking agreement with Votorantim, Brazil's second largest company, to supply Insitec on-line particle size analysers for at least 30 of its cement production lines throughout North and South America.
It further underlines Malvern's commitment to its customers in this growing market, says the company.
As well as his degree in mechanical engineering, Kajiyama has an MBA and speaks Japanese, English, Portuguese and Spanish - ideal skills for Malvern's first direct employee in South America.
