General news update November

As we have been very busy after the Essen fair in September I have not had much time to write on the blog lately. We are still working on all the new contacts we met in Essen, and fortunately the market seems to be recovering. The sales are going up but we are still far from the level we were at in the end of 2008.
Currently we are putting much work into the torch upgrade program for SPARCIN 4000, trying to get all the customers with the old torch system to upgrade to the new X-Cut/400 torch with the new gas console. So far everything is going smoothly there.
We have begun shipping the new 1-phase plasma UNIFIRE 30. We are very pleased with the response from our distributors. the development team is putting together the first samples of the UNIFIRE 25C with built-in compressor. I am very much looking forward to this as I have some home improvement work to do at home where such a machine could come in handy. :-)
In marketing we have lots of work to do during the coming weeks and we are all looking forward to the Christmas holidays when we will recharge the batteries for what we hope will be a busy spring.
