Endoline Machinery Ltd is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew Yates as managing director.

Andrew is the third generation of the Yates family to manage the business following Ron and Alan.

Andrew is also the managing director of Endoline Robotics Ltd which, with it’s partner, Fanuc supplies robotic palletising system in the UK.

The Endoline group of companies have been manufacturing and supplying an extensive portfolio of packaging machines worldwide for nearly 40 years and has become recognised as a leader in its field.

Alan Yates, who becomes the Company chairman, said “We have had a succession plan in place for a number of years; but any succession plan must not be based upon the individuals surname but upon their integrity, their professionalism and their ability. Andrew has all those attributes in abundance and, I am confident, will take the Group to further heights.” 

Alan added “As I said to Andrew on his appointment – when the nasty stuff hits the fan; the shovel is now in your office”
