CAMBRIDGE, Ont. — On February 3, the Board of Directors of the Canadian Tooling & Machining Association (CTMA) announced that Robert Cattle was appointed the new executive director of the association.
Cattle succeeds Leslie Payne who has served the association over the last 30 years as a volunteer director, president (2002-04) and executive director.
Cattle has been part-owner of Micrometric Ltd. for 37 years and brings his precision metalworking excellence and organizational expertise to the position.
Over the past decade Robert has served on the association’s Board of Directors as Toronto Chapter Chair, Vice-President, President and Past-President. In these roles he has gained a great appreciation of the association and its member companies.
“I look forward to bringing to the association the same commitment, dedication and passion that I have given my own company for all these years,” Cattle stated.
“I also look forward to working with government officials, other associations and our CTMA staff to bring the highest value possible to our members and to the tooling and machining industry.”
President David Glover expressed his pleasure with the Board’s choice.
"Robert’s industry knowledge and experience as a director of CTMA provides him with invaluable know-how."
He added, "I have no doubt that, with Robert at the helm, the association will expand its national presence and flourish.”
Cattle and Payne will work together over the next couple of months while Cattle assumes the new role. Payne will then embark on his retirement plans in Maple Leaf Golf & Country Club, Florida with brief spells back in Canada.
