Aberlink coordinate a success

Company sale director, Gavin Bailey, reported: "MACH 2010 was a tremendous success for Aberlink, not only were sales enquiries up by an impressive 40 per cent, compared to previous years, the overall quality of the leads generated was also better. "A tangible example of the show's success was an off-the-stand CMM sale to Kalstan Engineering. As attending MACH gave Kalstan the ability to compare the merits of our CMMs to those of our major competitors, all under one roof, it was particularly gratifying to receive this order. "Another off-the-stand order was the sale of our recently launched portable measuring arms software to a leading F1 Team. This product will allow them to standardise on one quality software package for their mix of portable measuring arms. "Applying our normal enquiry conversion rates, anticipated sales directly attributable to our MACH attendance will easily top six figures. The up-beat mood of the show confirms Aberlink's experience over the past 12 months, both in the UK and worldwide, in terms of improved levels of business and our increase in global CMM market share. "As sales of our Axiom Too and Zenith Too bridge CMMs are currently booming, our UK manufacturing plant is working at full capacity to satisfy our full order book. Consequently, turnover within this fiscal year is more than 50 per cent above target and we are now actively recruiting both production and development staff."
