W14 turned out to be a runaway success for T.M. Machinery, with both Striebig vertical panel saws and Viet artisan wide belt sanders proving popular with the large number of visitors to their biggest-ever stand.
“With business showing a definite boost over the last six months and woodworkers now prepared to open their cheque books more readily, we are very optimistic about our upcoming appearance at W14.” said Matt Pearce, sales director of T.M. Machinery Sales.
T.M. Services, a division of T.M. Machinery Sales, has continued to expand its apprentice base by taking on engineering student Liam Dunkley as an apprentice service co-ordinator.
T.M. Services’ apprentice Jordan Wills has been named Apprentice of the Year out of his class of 40 after completing the first year of a four year Advanced Apprenticeship in Engineering at South Leicestershire College.
Viet was established in Italy in 1953 by Ettore Vichi and in just a few years became one of the world leaders in the production of wide belt sanders.
The Striebig 4D is the world’s first vertical panel saw to offer intelligent cut optimisation, even for the most complicated panel and strip cutting work.
T.M. Machinery Sales, UK agents for the Striebig range of vertical panel saws, have entered into a distribution agreement with Biesse UK to sell, service and provide spare parts for the artisan range of Viet S1 and S2 wide belt sanders.
Stepping in where others had failed, T.M. Services & Spares successfully repaired a seriously damaged Italian four-headed planer/moulder at a Hampshire joinery.
T.M. Machinery Sales, sole UK agent for the Striebig range of vertical panel saws, reports an increase in demand for ‘nearly new’ used machines as customers look to cut costs in the economic downturn.
“In today’s tough economic climate production equipment including vertical panel saws might not be replaced as frequently as usual. It therefore makes sense to have a pre-planned service programme so as to extend and maximise their working life and maintain their continued safe operation in the workshop,” says Matt Pearce, sales director of T.M. Machinery Sales, UK agent for the Striebig range.
