Automated Stone Cutting Machinery (ASM) have appointed Graham Chapelhow to the newly developed position of technical manager.

Graham brings to ASM a wealth of technical experience and commercial awareness gained through previous employment in industries such as aerospace, mining and textiles.

Working in close partnership with directors Mick Howarth and Derrick Hawkins, Graham will be predominately focusing his efforts on introducing new technology to the stone industry through the use of CAD CAM (computer-aided design and manufacture).

A key part of this business strategy will see Graham working in conjunction with specialist European businesses to develop a fully integrated system for the supply of software and solutions to the stone industry.
