Autosport Engineering win for XYZ as stand draws 'pole position' accolade

The company exhibited a cross-section of its mill, lathe, machining and turning centre ranges at the show, as well as demonstrating its innovative XYZ 2-OP portable vertical machining centre. Says Martin Burton, XYZ Machine Tools' national sales manager: "Bringing the new XYZ 2-OP to the show proved a great move, as it generated a lot of interest and, as a result of the enthusiasm shown by visitors for this and the other machines on display, we are expecting several orders to materialise from new and existing customers. Their feedback suggests that they were impressed with what they saw and how XYZ can help to improve their workflow and productivity." Beyond that, the XYZ stand caught the eye of the show organisers, with the company being presented with the 'Best Stand Award', for its design and accessibility, by industry stalwart Toby Tobias. Adds Burton: "The award was the icing on the cake, after having a very positive show, and is testament to the hard work put in beforehand by Neil Andrews from our technical support department who coordinated everything with our stand designers. As well as looking stunning, it was also extremely functional, with easy access to all of the machines on display." Image: L to R - Martin Burton, Toby Tobias
