Borche UK Appoints Glen Eves as Business Development Director for UK & Ireland

Borche Machinery (UK) Co Limited is pleased to announce the appointment of Glen Eves as Business Development Director for the UK and Ireland. With over 25 years of experience in the plastics injection moulding industry, Glen brings a wealth of technical and commercial expertise to the team as the company continues to expand its presence across the region.

Glen’s career began in service engineering, progressing through technical management before moving into senior commercial roles over the last 15 years. His previous experience includes notable leadership positions such as General Manager at Sepro Robotique, Sales Manager at Yushin Automation, and roles within Star Automation and Negri Bossi. This extensive background in robotics and automated solutions provides him with a comprehensive understanding of the entire production cell, beyond just the moulding machine itself.

Based out of the Borche UK headquarters in Kingswinford, Glen’s primary focus will be supporting new customers to help them meet their production goals. His remit covers the full UK and Ireland territory, where he will be working closely with manufacturers to identify opportunities for capacity growth and operational savings.

The decision to join Borche was driven by the company’s direct manufacturer status and its reputation for stability.

“The main factors for me were the broad offering of machine types and the clear focus on energy-efficient technology,” Glen comments. “Being a daughter company, rather than an agent or distributor, provides a level of security and long-term commitment that is vital for our customers. While there will always be a place for European brands, the market is changing. With current cost-of-living and inflationary pressures, manufacturers are looking for ways to reduce capital expenditure and energy consumption without sacrificing quality. Borche products help them achieve both.”

Glen’s appointment comes at a strategic time for Borche Machinery UK as the company prepares for Interplas later this year.

“I am excited to join the Borche family and look forward to my new role,” Glen adds. “Interplas will be a fantastic opportunity to connect with customers old and new to discuss how our servo-hydraulic and two-platen technologies can help their businesses move forward.”

Raymond Fok, General Manager of Borche Machinery UK, welcomes the new appointment: “With extensive experience in the plastics industry, Glen’s professionalism, honesty, and integrity make him a tremendous asset to our organisation. Together with our dedicated UK service team, he will play a key role in elevating Borche UK to new heights.”

The addition of Glen Eves reinforces Borche’s commitment to providing high-level technical support and industry-leading value to the UK and Irish moulding sectors.
