Following the retirement of Richard Dean, Matthew Piper brings 15 years of experience in the industry to his new role, leading the global sales and technical development of Optifine high-efficiency grain refiners and casthouse solutions.
With expertise across master alloys, grain refiners, speciality alloys and powder metallurgy, Matthew began his career as a graduate trainee at London and Scandinavian Metallurgical Company, before moving on to hi-tech firm Metalysis as a senior scientist.
Before joining MQP, he was business development manager for P&B Metal Components, market leader in electromechanical precious metal contacts.
Rotherham-born and bred, Matthew – who graduated with a degree in physics from the University of Liverpool - said: “With more than 15 years in the aluminium industry, I’ve focused on turning technical challenges into practical results, helping casthouses improve quality, consistency and efficiency.
“I’m as comfortable on a plant floor as I am presenting new findings or working with customers on process improvements.
