Asquith Butler sees opportunities, following Sahos purchase by Bray

1 min read

Asquith Butler is complementing its existing Sahos 3- and 5-axis CNC gantry-style machining centres with the addition of the gantry-style Bray line, now a sister brand to Sahos since the purchase of Sahos by fellow Czech operation Bray (Blue Ray), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tool Trade S.R.O, a high-tech group of companies.

The re-structuring strategy of Tool Trade S.R.O presents an opportunity for Asquith Butler, as the company will now be able to offer the new products from Bray plus benefit from a host of cosmetic and design improvements to the existing line of Sahos CNC machining centres.

Bray machines are aimed at the high-end mould and die, pattern making, as well as aluminium and light alloy aerospace work.

Says Asquith Butler managing director Paul Hinchliffe: “The arrival of the Bray Series of machines offers some exciting new models, as well as some smart new configurations for the already popular Sahos machines.

“We have had some spectacular initial success with the Sahos machines here in the UK and we are beginning to see a good machine population develop. The new Bray machine specifications and layouts will allow Asquith Butler to further develop the market with a specification and price to suit all end-users.

“The Bray brand will complement the Sahos range and enable Asquith Butler to offer even more comprehensive machining solutions than ever before. The Bray product lines will give us potential to target niche application and industry segments that were sometimes beyond the Sahos brand. Such are the benefits of the Bray machines, we are confident the popularity and population of Bray machines grow considerably in the near future.”
