* About Matsuura in the UK - Matsuura Machinery reported strong start of year sales and buoyant enquiry levels from UK manufacturers and subcontractors.
In January 2008, Matsuura took multiple orders for machine tools - ranging from an 11 pallet horizontal machining centres to a 5-axis mill-turn machine capable of machining on six sides, from blank bar or billets.
Customers include Peter Brotherhood (turbine blades), Time Engineers (subcontractor) and the WilliamsF1 Team (motorsport).
Big Plus Face and Taper toolholding solutions from Big Daishowa and the award winning MST Mizoguchi 'Slimline' range, both supplied in the UK by Matsuura for over a decade, are also experiencing strong sales and enquiry levels.
In-spite of the recent turbulence in global money markets, UK manufacturers and tier 1 and 2 subcontractors are increasingly confident for a return to fiscal stability in the medium to long term, judging by their burgeoning order books and the enthusiastic nature of their enquiries, said Matsuura.
There is now exceptional demand for information regarding 'one hit' and 'lights out' manufacturing, with multi-pallet stand alone 4-axis horizontal machining centres gaining much interest and demand, said Matsuura to manufacturingtalk.com.
* UK Open House - Matsuura will hold its first Open House of 2008 on May 13-15 at its 4,000m2 air conditioned Leicestershire headquarters, on the theme of 'Multi Pallet Unmanned Production'.
At this event no less than three new Matsuura multi pallet systems will be shown for the first time in the UK.
They include a 10 pallet Cublex-25 mill-turn/multi-tasking machine and the all new 15 pallet H.Plus-300 horizontal machining centre.
