Trumpf has record event, month and year
1 min read
Trumpf saw over 300 people attend the company's In-Tech open house, the highest attendance ever for the three day event, generating £5 million of orders for machines spanning a range of Trumpf technologies.
With the addition of the In-Tech orders, March will be Trumpf's highest earnings month ever, 50% greater than March 2010. Trumpf is also on target to record the financial year 2010–11 as its best yet with Trumpf UK seeing the strongest recovery when compared with all other European markets.
"Our success is indicative of how well our customers are doing," comments technical director Scott Simpson. "Many are near to maximum production and they are investing in new manufacturing technology to support this upturn."
Trumpf has not only witnessed unprecedented demand for new machines but since formalising a co-operation with Severn Manufacturing Systems, the specialist in the refurbishment of second hand Trumpf machines, Trumpf has directly sold 20 units contributing more than £2.5 million to turnover at Trumpf UK.
Additionally, staff levels at Trumpf UK are at an all time high and the company has confirmed that they have taken on another two apprentices. And as well as £300,000 already invested in the Trumpf Luton facility, a further £100,000 has been allocated in the next financial year for more work to be undertaken, particularly on training suites.
