Ellesco Puts a Polish On MACH 2016

19 April 2016

With two stands located adjacent to each other by the entrance to Hall 4, deburring and surface finishing specialist Ellesco had an exceptional show at MACH 2016. With enquiries more than 25% up on MACH 2014, the Christchurch company cleaned up almost as well as its machines at MACH.

Giving his feedback on the bi-annual event, Ellesco Managing Director, Mr Guy Newton said: "With a stand next to the main Hall 4 entrance and one of the main aisles running between our two stands, our positioning couldn't be better and this certainly helped our enquiry intake. At this early stage, we can confidently say that over 50% of our enquiries are very strong prospects, a hugely significant growth. We are still receiving orders for turnkey projects from MACH 2014, so the increased lead generation from MACH 2016 will be positive for our business for some time to come."

On a lighter note, Ellesco even took many enquiries for the Dutch cycles and 16kg cheese blocks it had on its stand from principle supplier Timesavers.

"We had more than eight machines on our stand and this provided a great overview of our diverse range of products. The stand had five machines, from its principal supplier Timesavers - the compact 10-Series machine, through the well know wide belt machines of 12-Series, 22-Series and culminating in the ever popular 42-Series WRBW machine. We were also fortunate to be able to celebrate a new supplier, Peitzmeier-Maschinenbau, with their OG-Twin-Robot finishing machine along with small deburring and graining machines from VG Machines.

For the automated end of the market, as well as launching the Peitzmeier range, we had the Autopulit polishing & finishing Robot cell alongside the WMS-Engineering deburring machine for processing cast or machined components through a contained robotic cell. Extremely popular with globally renowned OEMs throughout Europe, WMS were able to demonstrate a live project part to the potential client during MACH, very successfully. This proved an interesting prospect among our high-end OEM customers and the enquiries for this type of project were almost 600% up on MACH 2014, ensuring we benefit from MACH 2016 for the two years up to MACH 2018," concludes Mr Newton.
