Steve Mepsted, managing director of PWM, said: “Visitor traffic was much better and more consistent than we had anticipated and the quality was excellent. We noted a marked increase in the number of visitors from India, Iran and Turkey. “Our large EP500 and P1500 rod welders attracted a high level of enquiries from manufacturers looking for a reliable, energy efficient method of welding large copper and aluminium rod sections. We sold the EP500 rod welder at the exhibition to a Brazilian wire and cable company, and have received orders for two more machines from Turkey. The P1500 machine was purchased by Solidal, a leading Portuguese producer of aluminium cables and conductors. The versatile portable models, especially the M101 and HP100, also proved popular with buyers. “The show also generated a substantial number of positive sales leads which we are now following up.” PressureWelding Machines – UK Fax : +44 1233 820591 Email : pwm@btinternet.com Website :www.pwmltd.co.uk
