Enermech to build £50m African unit

Enermech, the Aberdeenbased engineering services specialist, has appointed a regional director for Africa as it looks to double revenues in the region to more than £50 million over the next three years.

Salvatore Cutino has joined the group from Harris Pye Engineering where he was international business development manager based in Houston in the US.

He succeeds Steve Ord who will relocate to the UAE to become Enermech’s general manager for its operations in UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Enermech employs more than 150 staff in Africa and has a presence in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Northern Cape in South Africa, Angola, Nigeria and Ghana.

Chief executive Doug Duguid said: “Africa is a strategically significant region to Enermech’s future expansion plans.”
