The projection that Trumpf’s UK sales will close the current financial year at more than £52 million was enhanced by orders that the company received at its Open House in June.

This event attracted more than 200 visitors from 130 manufacturing companies.

Luton-based Trumpf Ltd (www.trumpf.com) reports confirmed orders across its product ranges, including the TruBend, TruPunch, TruMark and TruLaser — plus a TruLaser Tube cutting machine. The total order value was around the £3 million mark.

All Trumpf technologies were featured at the show, but the focus was on Industry 4.0, automation and the connected factory at every stage of implementation.

Machine highlights included the TruLaser 3030 6kW and TruLaser 5030 8kW machines (both with BrightLine fibre), the TruPunch 5000 with SheetMaster automation, the TruBend 5130 with various productivity features, and the TruTool power tools — including the new 18V range.

The Open House also saw the UK launch of the new TruLaser 2030 4kW BrightLine fibre machine, an entry-level product for flat-sheet laser cutting.
