Guill Adds to Design Engineering Team

Extrusion tooling specialists Guill Tool has recently added Nick Comeau and Brandon Ribeiro as design engineers. 

Comeau earned his mechanical engineering degree from the University of Hartford, Connecticut, where he worked part-time as a senior machine shop manager. In his role at Guill, he will be responsible for new product design, concept generation and research, and defining customer requirements using job quotations, purchase orders and customer interactions.

Comeau also develops the design concept for customer requirements, works on the detailed design using SolidWorks (Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) programs), database searches, along with proprietary design tools. 

Ribeiro received his mechanical engineering degree from Roger Williams University, in Bristol, Rhode Island. Before joining Guill, Ribeiro held several positions including metal fabricator, press brake operator, design engineer and automation engineer.

His work at Guill involves creating extrusion die assemblies to the requirements specified by the customer. The details are acquired by the sales team along with reference assembly previously created. Once the assembly is completed, Ribeiro contacts the customer to get approval before sending the job to the shop floor for production. 

Said Chuck Paull, Guill’s chief marketing officer, “We are excited to have Nick and Brandon join the Guill family. They are young professionals eager to learn all they can about the extrusion process to better serve our customers.”
