Marc Wise to lead Shaftec Automotive sales

Birmingham-based remanufacturer Shaftec Automotive’s sales director Tom Curtis will be leaving the company at the end of April.

Curtis joined Shaftec in July 2010 and has developed strong relationships with customers across the automotive aftermarket, establishing the brand across the UK and Ireland. Additionally, key distribution agreements across Europe have also been put in place, helping to grow its export business.

Marc Wise will now grow the brand and increase the Shaftec business across the UK & Ireland and European as sales director. He joined Shaftec nine years ago and became sales manager in 2021.

“I'm really happy to have the opportunity to continue the journey I have been on for the last nine years,” he said. “A lot of this time has been spent working closely with Tom, and I personally thank him for being such a good mentor and friend.

“We have some great opportunities both in the UK and Ireland, and across the water in Europe, and I'm proud and excited to be leading such a great team we have at Shaftec.”

With more than 1,850 distributors, the business supplies remanufactured and new components covering drive, steer and stop systems.
