Wenzel backs CMM scrappage scheme with £70,000

"We know that there are many old 'Clunker' CMMs gathering dust in the corners of manufacturing facilities all over the UK", said Andy Woodward, managing director of Wenzel UK. "For that reason, we decided to take a page out of the government's Car Scrappage Scheme and apply the same concept for CMMs. We have set aside £70,000 for the program, which will run through December 1, 2009." The scheme provides a £3,500 trade-in-allowance against a 'Clunker' CMM, if the customer purchases a new Wenzel CMM or Gear Testing machine. CMM Clunker Program rules are: • Trade-in CMM must be less than 40 years old on the trade-in date. • Only new Wenzel CMM or GMM purchases or leases will qualify. • Generally, trade-in CMM must be in poor condition, have very poor performance and no longer worthy of space in customer's facility. • Trade-in CMMs must be fully owned by trade-in party. • Program runs through December 1, 2009 or when the allocated funds are exhausted, whichever comes first. • The program requires the confirmed scrapping of the eligible trade-in CMM by trade-in party, unless Wenzel UK deems it worthy of remanufacture.
