Kane brings more than four decades of subcontract manufacturing experience, having held senior leadership roles at aerospace specialists Technoset and Techno Group. His appointment follows the integration of Wardtec into Lawton Engineering, part of the Lawton Tubes group, two years after its acquisition.
“This is an exciting opportunity to help one of the world’s leading suppliers of copper tube and fittings grow its precision engineering arm across a range of sectors,” said Kane. “We are set up not just to be a subcontract provider, but a solutions provider for copper-based infrastructure – whether that is in medical, plumbing and heating, air conditioning and refrigeration, or general industry.'
