The company exhibited five machines in total with a number of them making their MACH debuts.
In addition to the five ‘physical’ machines, the company also showcased a range of its new and, from the markets’ perspective, perhaps less well known technologies to visitors.
Says Martin Spencer, GF Machining Solutions UK’s managing director: “We used MACH to promote the unrivalled breath and strength in depth of our machine tool technology portfolio and, just as importantly, to position ourselves as a proven and trusted advanced manufacturing solutions provider.
“Prior to the show we set ourselves some ambitious targets in terms of machine tool sales and enquiries and manufacturing project confirmations. Analysis of the figures reveals that we exceeded these targets by a factor of three.
“MACH 2018 was a great show for us. Visitor numbers were high and leads, enquiries and actual sales taken during the five days all exceeded our pre-Show targets. One thing that was really notable was that virtually all customers and visitors we interacted with were busy…had strong forward order books and were confident about the future. We are actively following up the leads and enquiries taken during MACH and I am confident that the level of interest amongst visitors will soon translate into actual sales in the not too distant future.”
