The growth has been achieved across all sectors
2019 saw a robust performance for the company’s 5-axis machines, specifically the Variaxis series and the Integrex i-series. The company has also reported strong growth in the HCN series of horizontal machining centres, particularly in the oil and gas sector and the UK-built QT machines.
Mazak’s laser division also continued to make inroads into the UK market with a strong order book that has led to continued increase in market share.
Alan Mucklow, managing director UK and Ireland sales division at Yamazaki Mazak, said: “2019 has been an excellent year for machine orders in the UK, with a continuation of the recovery in the oil and gas sector, a strong showing in aerospace and a resilient general subcontracting base that has continued to invest in new technology.
“I’m also delighted with the performance of our laser division, which continues to build its position in the UK market.”
Looking forward, Mr Mucklow is bullish about prospects for 2020, particularly with the range of new technologies that will come to market in the new year and the recent investments in the UK manufacturing facility coming fully online.
