Best ever month since Bridgeport acquisition, says Hardinge

1 min read

Hardinge Machine Tools Ltd has had one of its best months ever with sales for new machine tools topping £2.1 million in September 2006.

The result, the best since the acquisition of Bridgeport some 20 months ago and the subsequent creation of an integrated brand sales team – represents 40 machine tools sold within the UK. "Across all of our sales territories activity has been hectic - and, these outstanding results have not been confined to a particular machine tool technology either. We’ve seen high demand for our milling, turning and grinding machines – from standard entry level right through to our more sophisticated and advanced models," commented David Andrew, sales & marketing director at Hardinge Machine Tools Ltd. Already on a high since its great sales performance at – and following MACH 2006 – these results reflect well on the company’s relatively new sales team and indicate a clear upward trend for Hardinge machine tool sales. "Results like these don’t happen by chance. A lot of individual and collective hard work (over many months) – and throughout the whole organisation - has gone into creating the right conditions for this increased level of sales activity. I am delighted that all that commitment and dedication has come to fruition," concluded Mr Andrew.
