Hylec-APL, the specialist supplier of electrical components and enclosures, has appointed Chris Shore as South Western Area Sales Manager from July 1, 2021.  Chris joins an expanding team at Hylec as the company reports robust sales across its entire product portfolio.

Comments Shore: “I’m delighted to be joining Hylec at the beginning of this exciting period of growth. We are stocking high levels of product across our entire portfolio to assist customers during the present phase of high demand and to help offset production delays due to material shortages.  Across the next 12 – 18 months, we forecast strong sales as the industry emerges from the pandemic and I look forward to meeting with existing and new customers at contract manufacturers, OEMs, multi-nationals, lighting companies and designers.”
