ANCA, a global supplier of CNC grinding technology, automation solutions, and motion controls, has appointed Christopher Weaver as chief financial officer (CFO) of the ANCA Group.

Weaver replaces Gary Ward, who is retiring from the position he has held for the past 13 years.

Weaver brings over 25 years of senior leadership experience across engineering, industrial manufacturing, and financial services, including senior roles at listed global companies such as Fluidra, Keller, Downer EDI, Members Equity Bank, and Medical Developments International (ASX: MVP), as well as a partnership at Deloitte. He has led global business transformations, ERP implementations, international expansions, and M&A initiatives – expertise that aligns strongly with ANCA's ambitions for continued innovation and market leadership.

"ANCA has an incredible heritage, a reputation for innovation in high-end manufacturing and technology solutions, and a proud, collaborative culture," said Weaver. "Rapidly changing technology together with AI will impact every part of ANCA's business and our challenge is to invest well to evolve our business models to leverage the opportunities these changes present."
