A record number of current and potential customers visited the stand of Sheffield-based T W Ward CNC Machinery (Ward CNC) (www.wardcnc.com).

Commenting on the success of the show, managing director Simon Whitworth said: “We are delighted that the eight machines we had on show were so well received.

G“reat interest was shown in all the brands on offer — Axile, Hankook, Hartford, Hyundai-Wia, Pinacho, Soraluce, Takisawa Japan and Takisawa Taiwan — which we represent exclusively in the UK and Ireland.

“As a result of the show, we are now following up on some very strong enquiries received from potential customers in all industry sectors; and helping our sales and applications teams, who were constantly discussing installations and ways to improve productivity levels, were representatives from many of our brands’ principals.”
