New machine from MicroStep

Our partners at MicroStep have recently introduced a new model in their product program - the MasterCut.

The MasterCut replaces several older models in the product program which is thereby simplified. The MasterCut is designed as an entry level CNC cutting machine for small and medium size enterprises, as well as heavy industrial cutting.

The MasterCut combines a simple yet sturdy mechanical construction with the extraordinary user friendliness and versatility of the advanced control system iMSNC which is used throughout the product line.

For more information about the MasterCut, please visit our partner's website: www.microstep.eu.

NWE in Tampere 2010

Last week we participated at the NWE 2010 in Tampere, Finland, together with our Finnish partner Wallius. Although I missed most of it due to a dispute among air traffic control staff at Stockholm Arlanda airport the fair was a success. I will not investigate further whether the bigger success was during the half that I missed or the half that I was present.

Wallius have been doing a great job with the Finnish market, especially since we appointed Wallius the sole distributor for Finland about 2 years ago. We can see that they have been very successful in general and have kept their turnover even through the crisis.

At the NWE we showed our new UNIFIRE single phase machines as well as our mechanised system SPARCIN 4000. We had a lot of interest from customers and towards the end of the fair our colleagues at Wallius had many customers to visit for demos.

Our production is still very busy and in spite of adding more capacity we have trouble keeping up with demand.
