Reinforcing the impression that UK manufacturing is rebounding from the economic problems of the last few years, Sodi-Tech EDM, sole UK distributor for Sodick EDM machines, is celebrating its best month ever.
Managing director Peter Capp said: "Sales are going from strength to strength. March was the most successful month we have had since launching the company 20 years ago, and the value of sales in the first quarter of 2011 has already surpassed our total turnover for 2010, which itself was a successful year."
Capp puts this achievement down to two factors: the high quality and long term accuracy of Sodick EDM technology; and Sodi-Tech's determination to retain its staff throughout the recession.
"Taken together with the stream of new technology being developed by Sodick – the latest examples of which will be announced at EMO later this year – the prospects for 2011 look more than promising for ourselves and our customers," he noted.
