Another year at the top
Despite the recent downturn Johnson Machine and Tool says it has retained its position as the number one provider of equipment to the
fastener trade in the UK.
“For over ten years we have outsold all competitors and we owe our success to our portfolio of products which include the top names in the
world of fastener machinery,” comments Kevin Blenkiron, sales and technical manager.
He adds “Our range of Carlo Salvi machinery has constantly sold more than double all of the other brands combined for the last 5 years and
although business is difficult at present, we are still winning over 70% of available business.”
Kevin points to the fact that Johnson Machine and Tool is a “one stop shop” for anyone wishing to produce fasteners and cold formed products as
another reason for the companies’ success.
“Our engineers are able to offer advice on all aspects of fastener design, production, tooling and provide “turn key” packages both in the UK and
worldwide.”
