During the past year the company has witnessed a 175% growth in ceramic filter sales and 50% increase in feedthrough capacitor sales.
With revenues set to continue to grow over the next 12 months, Cunningham’s new role is in direct response to this upsurge in demand for MPE’s high-performance filter and capacitor solutions, whilst reinforcing MPE’s expansion and improvement activities that are currently well under way.
As Production Manager, Cunningham is now responsible for all critical manufacturing processes and teams, including fabrication, capacitor and inductor winding, along with assembly functions, with paint spray, test and finishing included.
Having joined MPE in 2011 as a Manufacturing Supervisor, hiss role has markedly expanded. Today it includes responsibility for the manufacturing processes above totalling 33 people, as well as the recruitment and training of new manufacturing apprentices and operatives.
This promotion will continue Steve’s direct relationship with Manufacturing Director Marcus Wright, as he continues to report to him.
