The business has an excellent national reputation, although circa 70% of turnover is in its core area of the Midlands.
It offers just about every aspect of food production machinery including:
• Vacuum packing
• Thermoforming
• Mincing
• Bandsaws
• Ovens
• Cold rooms
• Graders
• Grinders

• Much more
The range of machinery can be supplied as either new or refurbished.
The business also has a repair and service facility and has spare parts in stock in case of urgent needs.
There is a good spread of customers with no over reliance on any single one.
Advertising is very minimal and the business relies on its web site and word of mouth referrals from other satisfied customers to generate sales. Also, attending trade exhibitions increases market awareness leading to increased sales.
