UK-based etch and deposition system maker Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology (OIPT) has appointed Andrew McQuarrie as VP of sales & service in the USA.
McQuarrie has more than 28 years of experience in semiconductor and related high-technology businesses, including Surface Technology Systems, Lam Research and Applied Materials, as well as previous employment with Oxford Plasma Technology.
OIPT says that McQuarrie has a track record throughout this period of establishing, developing and leading businesses, with an in-depth understanding of the technologies employed. Key objectives are to further develop the firm’s North and South American business, in industrial and research markets, leading the sales and service teams and establishing relationships with significant current and potential customers globally.
“The USA is clearly a key territory for Oxford Instruments,” says Dr David Haynes, OIPT’s global sales and service director. “We have a highly skilled workforce dedicated to growing our business, and through Andy McQuarrie’s experience of business development and leadership across a range of international technology companies, we intend to improve further on the success we have achieved so far.”
