Bodycote appoints VP of Automotive region for North America

Bodycote is pleased to announce that Eric Hutton has accepted the position as Vice President of Automotive Region within the North American AGI business. In Eric’s new role he will be responsible for managing operations and sales for the following plants: Canton Ronda, Livonia, Highland Heights, and Rochester, USA; Silao, Mexico; and Newmarket and Kitchener, Canada.

Eric has worked at Bodycote since 1993, beginning his career in the sales department. In 2005 a plan had developed to build the Livonia plant which would specialise in low pressure carburising. Eric took the assignment and built the Livonia plant. After the completion of Livonia, the same opportunity arose in Silao, Mexico. From there Eric’s operations responsibilities eventually grew into supporting five plants as a Regional Operations Manager.

Eric has a Bachelor Degree of Marketing and Master Degree in Management. Join me in congratulating Eric on accepting this new role.
