ETG Expands Expertise with New Fabrication Manager Appointment

ETG is pleased to announce the appointment of John Meddings as Regional Sales Manager for its newly established Fabrication Division. This strategic expansion comes in response to the growing demand for integrated, high-quality solutions across the manufacturing industry, catering to both OEMs and small subcontractors.

The Fabrication Division will bring together a range of products and custom services, incorporating the DURMA and VLB Group brands under the ETG umbrella. This move positions ETG to meet the increasing complexity of manufacturing challenges with comprehensive solutions.

Leading the new division, John Meddings brings over a decade of experience in the sheet metal industry. Having started his career at age 17 as an apprentice operating various laser machines, John’s skillset spans from tube laser cutting to CNC programming and CAD design. His deep expertise in laser and fabrication equipment led him into application engineering for laser systems, where he gained a solid foundation in sheet metal engineering and processes. This experience laid the groundwork for his transition into aftersales and business development.

John’s extensive hands-on experience enables him to provide customers with optimal solutions for their sheet metal manufacturing and machinery needs. His recent appointment with ETG marks a natural next step in his career journey.

Based in the Midlands, John is a proud native of Dudley, where he lives with his wife and their three dogs—Bruce, Yoshi, and Jack-Jack. A devoted West Brom fan, he also enjoys a good game of football.

John shares, “I am passionate about the sheet metal industry, having lived and breathed it for the past 13 years. I’m committed to delivering exceptional customer service and innovative products to both ETG’s existing and prospective clients. I’m eager to bring my confidence and knowledge to this new role. Additionally, we’re expanding the Fabrication Division to offer comprehensive support for DURMA and VLB Group machines, including dedicated spares, maintenance, and service offerings.”
