The Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA), the UK\u2019s leading trade body for the manufacturing technology sector, is delighted to announce the appointment of Stewart Lane, Renishaw\u2019s Head of EMEA Business Development, as its new President.<\/p>\n

A Proven Leader for the Manufacturing Sector, Stewart brings to the role a wealth of technical expertise, commercial insight and industry leadership experience.<\/p>\n

With a degree in Manufacturing Systems Engineering and over 30 years\u2019 experience in the industry, 25 of them at Renishaw, Stewart has held a wide range of roles at the global FTSE250 engineering business. Stewart also spent several years working within quality and management functions for a number of French and Swedish industrial businesses, and speaks both languages fluently. He has also managed Renishaw\u2019s French sales organisation.<\/p>\n

He joined Renishaw in 2000, initially performing roles within the company’s quality and design functions before combining his technical and commercial skills to develop metrology products for the global machine tool industry. He has also headed Renishaw\u2019s corporate business development function and UK Sales division, becoming a member of its International Sales and Marketing Board, and has helped drive the development of the company\u2019s metrology, encoder and additive manufacturing (AM) businesses.<\/p>\n

Outside of Renishaw, Stewart has contributed significantly to the wider UK manufacturing sector. He is a past Board member of the West of England Aerospace Forum (WEAF) and joined the MTA Board in 2016, where he became Chair of the MTA\u2019s Education Committee and its representative on the Board of CECIMO, the European Association of Manufacturing Technologies.<\/p>\n

In recent years, a key focus for Stewart has been supporting the growth of additive manufacturing (AM) both within Renishaw and the wider industry. He was until recently Chair of both AMUK and CECIMO\u2019s European AM Committee. He continues to represent the UK internationally, working alongside fellow MTA Board Member, Marcus Burton, and MTA CEO, James Selka.<\/p>\n

As President of the MTA, Stewart will champion the association\u2019s mission to represent and advance the interests of UK manufacturing technology companies, collaborating closely with government, industry and research institutions, building on the legacy of outgoing President, Tony Bowkett.<\/p>\n
