Simultaneous open houses and technical seminars staged jointly by Wilson Tool International and LVD drew around 400 visitors and attracted orders.
In addition, by utilising Wilson Tool's technical support in the early stages of new business opportunities, the company has been able to base its quotations on factual capability of price and tooling knowledge.
As a result an added value, enhanced service is being passed onto customers.
Fife Fabrications' 'one-stop' concept for assembly and delivery service has become an international winner for the company drawing in business from the Far East as well as the UK.
Here the Wilson 2.4.1 punch press tool system, has proven its worth due to the simple set-up on the machine, the guaranteed punch alignment and elimination of presetting.
The 2.4.1 system has also reduced tool change time from, at best, three minutes to just 30 secs and is able to provide an unmatched double the regrind life of traditional 'Old Style' punch press tools.
The 24 hour delivery from Swindon means that production hold-ups due to non-availability of tooling are a thing of the past and indirect costs are reduced because only one tool of any type needs to be kept on site.
