Meltech CRE is enjoying a record year,
which looks set to continue with a raft of
new business wins.
Company orders have grown significantly
during 2013, with an influx of new
orders from Japan, Germany and the
Netherlands with a combined value in
excess of £2.2m, which will keep the
Meltech CRE team busy until 2014.
Further contracts are currently under
negotiation in a host of export markets,
including the Americas and several
European countries.
Blackburn, UK-based Meltech seems
to be bucking an industry trend, which
in recent years has seen this market
polarise. “CRE is a specialist niche market
with just a handful of players throughout
the world,” said Peter Drever, managing
director.
The recent business gains have been even
more gratifying for Meltech, given market
rumours that some UK competitors are
struggling, with one believed to have
ceased trading recently.
Extrusion equipment produced by
Meltech is designed to be as efficient and
easy to use as possible. The company’s
standard production line includes every
aspect needed to begin extrusion,
with production, cooling, coiling and
packaging and control all built in to
ensure a fully integrated extrusion line.
“The end-to-end nature of our capabilities
allows projects to benefit from the
experience and professionalism of
Meltech from top to bottom, giving
our customers complete support and
ensuring success. It is proving to be a
winning approach both for us and for our
customers,” added Mr Drever.
