Technical compounder and recycler Luxus, has appointed a new business development manager to help expand its UK and export business.
Jaume Escoriza joins Luxus based in Louth, Lincolnshire from vacuum excavation company, Vac-Ex where for five years he was a general manager. He was responsible for the company’s design, manufacture and sales division, in addition to its growing export business.
In his new role Jaume will build on the compounder’s existing client base that encompasses a diverse range of industries including: automotive; civil engineering; retail logistics; horticulture and safety products.
Jaume begins at an exciting time as the compounder’s €1.4m EU Eco-innovation funded project to commercialise its advanced thermoplastics (PP) range, Hycolene™ culminates in January 2017. Luxus is therefore seeking new partnerships with Europe’s automakers that require high performance, light-weighting and enhanced life cycle assessment benefits from their composites. Luxus will also be exploring new and emerging market applications for Hycolene™.
Sajid Mohammed, associate commercial director at Luxus said: “We are delighted that Jaume has joined our team at this time. He has a great background when it comes to developing different markets as well as penetrating new applications. We are on course to market our high performance compounds to existing and new clients. So he will play an active role in promoting our brand and securing new business for Luxus.”
Jaume Escoriza explains why he chose Luxus: “I’ve been looking for potential employment in Lincolnshire area; this was the first role that genuinely excited me thanks to a combination of its 51 year pedigree, a strong export focus and being a true leader in its field.
“The lure of learning too, about new innovative thermoplastics products was heightened by the fact that Luxus’ highly specified compounds are engineered with a recycled content. Working for a business that is helping responsible clients to reduce landfill is a great bonus too.”
