Worcester presses the button on record year after major sales boom

A Stourbridge manufacturing specialist is celebrating the best twelve month in its 67 year history after turnover doubled to £2.8m Worcester Presses, which provides a range of mechanical and hydraulic presses and coil handling equipment from its Titan Works factory, sold more than 50 machines last year following strong growth in the UK's automotive, aerospace and construction sectors. It even completed its first export order to the US in 2015, with a reconditioned high-speed press prepared and sent to a customer in Detroit for use in producing riveter aluminium parts. Bosses at the firm have taken on five new staff to cope with the demand for it services and are looking for even further growth when it exhibits at MACH 2016 in April. "We've never seen demand reach this level before, especially in such a short space of time. If you think we've more than doubled turnover, you begin to understand the scale of what we've achieved." explained Russell Hartill, Sales Director at Worcester Presses. "There has been specific interested in our Chin Fong range of presses, with 27 sold since last January - most from stock due to faster deliveries. Demand has been for the hugely popular GTX range (offering variations from 160 to 500 tonnes) including four state-of-the-art models for nearby automotive suppliers." Established in 1949, Worcester Presses will be on stand 4564 at MACH 2016, as part of The Metalforming Machinery Makers Association's Metalworking Village.
