Webster explains: “Castell has huge credibility as a brand. It’s time we took that authority and upped the pace in everything we do – how we communicate with customers, how we develop new products and how we increase our global footprint.

“We’ve got a significant investment plan for the business which will fuel our growth, whether that’s systems-led or directed into NPD. We want to maintain and increase our reputation as the go-to partner for our customers, both for knowledge and solutions.”

Webster brings to the company extensive experience of the automation, process control, hazardous area and lighting industries.
