The company, launched in 2008, is owned by honing experts David Arthur and Charles Sanders, who have a combined honing knowledge spanning over five decades. Faced with the challenge of how to survive a recession they realised there was an opportunity in the used honing machine market. In the first year of trading a quarter of all sales were exports. Charles Sanders commented, “It was apparent that there was a need to offer reconditioned honing machinery with the same service and advice you would expect from a new purchase. We offer a turnkey package that can include tooling, consumables, delivery, installation, commissioning and training.” Recovery from the downturn is expected to be protracted and weak, and with the tight flow of credit to manufacturers remaining a worry, and firms unable to obtain funding to meet orders, the opportunity to save costs on the purchase of equipment for a manufacturer could be the answer to the problem of how to satisfy growing order books.
