Belgium-built Webster & Bennett VTLs available

At the end of 2007 and beginning of 2008, Pegard says key members of management left Warwick-based Webster & Bennett International Ltd and started up Wickman Bennett. Due to poor financial results, the owners, OGEPAR, put Webster & Bennett International into administration in April 2008. Pegard Productics SA Belgium, also part of the same group, purchased the IPR for all the new generation machines built from 2001 by Webster & Bennett International from the administrator. The trade name and IPR Prior to 2001 was purchased by Viking machine tools. The VTL range of Evolution, Revelation and Xtreme models, are now built and marketed by Pegard Productics SA Belgium under its own name. This range of machines is available in the UK, along with the other machine tools from the same group.
