Peter France, 33, who joined Rotork in 1989, is to be the company's first Managing Director to take control of Rotork Fluid Systems' activities on a worldwide basis

Continuing growth in Rotork's international medium and heavy duty fluid power valve actuator business has created the need for a Managing Director to take control of Rotork Fluid System's activities on a worldwide basis.

Peter France, 33, who joined Rotork in 1989 is now appointed to Rotork's Board of Directors following three years as Director and General Manager at Rotork Singapore, where he was responsible for electric and fluid power valve actuator activities throughout South East Asia.

As Rotork Fluid Systems' first Managing Director, Peter's expertise will be focussed on co-ordinating and enhancing the worldwide sales and marketing activities of Rotork's fluid power actuator manufacturing plants at Rochester, USA and Lucca, Italy.

A programme of product harmonisation is being completed, providing Rotork with an unrivalled selection of standard and customised pneumatic and hydraulic actuator products and systems to meet the diverse demands of industries including onshore and offshore oil and gas production, chemical processing and pipelines.

Rotork fluid power products are fully supported by Rotork's network of 119 valve actuation subsidiary offices and agents in 71 countries, as well as specialised fluid power actuator centres of excellence in the UK, Canada and Singapore.
