IWM beats the recession
01-06-2009
Despite the present tough economic conditions worldwide, Birmingham-based Industrial Washing Machines (IWM) has been successful in securing orders for no fewer than ten new machines in the last two months, almost half of which are destined for export to Spain, Canada and Poland.
These orders correspond to a growth in sales of more than 75% in value terms compared with the same period in 2008, which is a remarkable achievement at a time when most UK manufacturers are reporting a sustained downturn in business.
Among the machines currently on order from IWM are a custom weigh pan washer that the company believes is the only system in the world capable of washing and drying a full set of weigh pans, a specially designed wheelie bin washer, several cabinet utensil washers for use in the confectionary industry, crate washers, and a new type of sanitary bin washer for medical applications.
“In the present economic climate, potential purchasers of washing machines are looking more closely than ever at value for money and low lifetime costs,” said Carl Hollier, Managing Director of IWM, “and our equipment delivers in both of these crucial areas. Weve got a wide range of standard products that have a great reputation for efficiency, reliability and low running costs, and we also design and manufacture tailor-made machines at very attractive prices.”
“These factors, complemented by excellent references from existing customers and our established track record for successful innovation and impeccable customer support are among the main reasons for the strong growth in demand for our products,” he continued. “And Im pleased to say although Im not being complacent that there is every indication that this growth will be sustained – we have many more significant orders in the pipeline.”
Despite the companys high order input in recent months, IWM is continuing with ongoing improvements to its operations to maintain availability of its standard range on short delivery times.
