Kasto Open House generates over £600,000 of potential business

Interest was shown by both stockholders and manufacturers in Kasto sawing machines and storage systems, and also in machining centre products intended for processing aluminium marketed under a sole agency agreement with the Italian machine tool builder, FOM Industrie, reports managing director Ernst Wagner. The show marked the launch in the UK of a new Kasto computer-controlled storage system, called Unitower C. Designed to stock a combination sheet, long stock, pallets and boxes, it is a low-cost, modular solution to maximising the amount of material that companies are able to store within a 1.5 m by 3 m footprint. Mr Wagner further commented that storage systems are becoming more popular these days with the ever-increasing price of industrial building space. There are also efficiency as well as health and safety drawbacks associated with storing parts on the floor and manually handling them, he added. * Jason Chodynicki has been appointed sales manager, pictured (far right) with the Kasto UK team taken during the Open House.
