Polymer bearing and wear material distributor Vesconite Rail has employed three additional staff members in line with its intention of growing its share of niche polymer products supplied to the global rail industry.
Lebogang Machethe, Ronnie Mugisha and Graham Wiggill were appointed earlier this year, and have backgrounds in chemical engineering, electrical engineering and information and computer technology.
It is believed that the additional appointees will allow for increased contact with clients as well as additional marketing and promotional activities aimed at the rail sector, where Vesconite Rail has had considerable success with supplying side-bearer guides, bogie support pads, pedestal liners, centre liners, cross-anchor bushings, brake beam guides and hopper door bushings, among many other wear components.
The diverse range of staff skills will also prove invaluable in the multi-faceted railway engineering and rail transport industry, where the complex problem of rail and wheel wear is of central concern.
