1 min read
The Luton and Birmingham-based punching specialists Bruderer UK has reported receiving more than £1m in new business leads after featuring its state-of-the-art BSTA 280-75B2 high-speed punching press for the first time at the MACH trade show last month.
The company, which only employs a dozen people but has enjoyed a record-breaking year with sales up 25% to more than £4m, said it had spent nearly £50,000 on its biggest trade show presence for a decade.
Managing director Adrian Haller (pictured, right, with Bruderer's Andreas Fischer) said it all went to show that manufacturing in the UK was really on the up.
"The companies we are speaking to are all reporting increases in volume and are keen to find new ways where they can invest in speeding up the manufacturing process, improving quality and accuracy or even simply increasing capacity."
He continued: "This is where we can normally help with our global reputation for punching technology and the number of new machines we've got coming to market. There is a mass of work being repatriated into the UK, and a high percentage of the new technology that will shape manufacturing in the future is also being developed here."
Bruderer was founded in 1968 and has its global head office in Switzerland. It serves customers in the automotive, building, electronics, medical, watch and food and beverage sectors.
