Richard Floyd, managing director of Floyd Automatic Tooling said: "We have some very innovative products that cater for the specialist manufacturers and customers in highly productive and competitive environments".

Floyd said the company had worked to promote the 'what's new at MACH' scheme run by the MTA, and had increased the size of its stand at the MACH 2006 exhibition to highlight all the new products the company had available.

Floyd Automatic Tooling's stand featured machines from Tornos, Star and Citizen and demonstrated the capabilities of the new moduline tooling systems from Swiss tooling specialist Applitec.
