IMI Critical Engineering has announced that it has appointed Ajitkumar Sreekumar as head of its operation in India, where he will report directly to divisional Managing Director, Roy Twite.

The new appointment follows significant growth within the Indian market, which the business has identified as a region of key strategic importance. Ajit will play a decisive role in IMI’s continued success in India, providing leadership and strategic input as the business continues to develop new opportunities in India that will support IMI Critical Engineering’s ambitious growth objectives.
