DOYLES incorporates strategic enhancement to manufacturing prowess

Houston, TX (December 20, 2011) In a move designed to improve the company’s manufacturing capabilities, DOYLES today announced the hiring of Eric Myers as Director of Engineering. Myers, a graduate of the University of Houston with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, has significant manufacturing experience with National Oilwell Varco/Shaffer and Cameron.

At NOV, Myers gained hands-on experience with a wide range of products and manufacturing processes, including machining and welding, tooling and gauges, rubber goods molding, and assembled products ranging from gate valves to subsea blowout preventer stacks. He also performed duties in choke engineering and new product development and played a primary role in introducing two distinct new product lines for the company.

As a Manufacturing Engineer at Shaffer, Myers helped instill principles of manufacturability and design cost effectiveness. His stint at Shaffer also included in-depth experience with quality control and assurance procedures throughout a product’s life cycle.

In 2008, Myers joined Cameron and played a key role in building a new facility for drilling manifold design and construction, as well as repair/remanufacture of valves and other manifold components.

According to Anthony Onorato, Vice President of Operations at DOYLES, “Eric is a strategically vital addition to our company. His prior experience at two of the largest pressure control equipment manufacturers will be key in taking our manufacturing ability to a whole new level. What’s more, it also sets the stage for new product development in the very foreseeable future.”
