Bruderer signs million-pound deal on MACH day three

In the former category, Swiss press manufacturer Bruderer signed a million-pound deal on the third day of MACH 2018 with precision metal components manufacturer Clamason Industries to supply its largest-ever press.

Clamason, a specialist supplier to the automotive, medical and building products sectors, will use the 300-tonne ZANI Motion Master press to target up to £6m of new orders. The Kingswinford-based company is hoping that the speed and additional bed size will unlock larger pressings and stampings opportunities.

Celebrating 50 years since setting up in the UK, its MD Adrian Haller signed the agreement on its stand at MACH. He said: “We knew we were close to a deal, but never expected to secure it at the event, so this is an extra-special birthday present for us. We listened to the technical team at Clamason and, through our understanding of the business and its objectives, we put together a turnkey package that not only met its requirements, but actually surpassed them.”
