The announcement that Durma has partnered with ETG will be a huge confidence boost to existing Durma customers who will benefit from the exceptional levels of service and technical support enjoyed by existing ETG customers.
Durma is a brand that has been established in the UK for over 25 years with upward of 1000 machine installations in virtually all industry sectors with everything from small businesses to world-class OEMs noted as ongoing customers.
The new agreement will be a significant boost to the portfolio of ETG’s new Fabrication Division and its customers, as the Durma range encompasses everything from press brakes and laser cutting machines to plasma cutting, bending centres, guillotine shears, cylinder bending, punch presses, notching machines and automation solutions. With the world’s largest portfolio of sheetmetal machinery and automation solutions, this technology is immediately available from ETG.
Discussing why Durma chose ETG as its partner for the UK, Durma UK sales manager Aykut Ozturk said: “We needed a new partner to accelerate our growth in the UK. The UK is our 6th largest market and it has huge potential with sheetmetal machinery sales in the region of £900m a year. To increase our exposure and sales, we identified ETG as the perfect partner.
ETG has a world-class showroom facility and it already works with industry-leading brands like Nakamura-Tome, Chiron and many others – so we knew they had a pedigree of working with prestige brands like Durma. Additionally, ETG has an excellent reputation for service and support, which is critical considering our significant UK customer base.”
As the product manager for fabrication at ETG, Andrew Smith Hughes said: “The opportunities for this partnership are extremely exciting. The Durma brand has a reputation as one of Europe’s most prestige sheetmetal and fabrication machine tool brands.
"The build quality, innovation and automation solutions are incredible and the technical support provided in the UK by Durma will be unprecedented – this will also exemplify how important the UK market is for Durma.”
