One of the UK’s longest established distributors and manufacturers of industrial woodworking machinery, Daltons Wadkin is in the process of expanding its showroom facility.
The move, taken due to the ongoing absence of trade shows across the UK, will allow the business to deliver deeper machine demonstrations for customers, both in-person and virtually.
The expansion of space, which will fully comply with all COVID-19 requirements and regulations, will house a range of new, bigger, machines. This will include Salvador automatic crosscut saws, Kimla CNC routers, Elcon vertical panel saws as well as more traditional machinery from SCM.
Despite the effects of COVID-19, the Nottingham-based company ended the last calendar year strongly, doing so with many of its brands posting improved sales that were nearly 50% better compared to 2019.
That success has also allowed Daltons Wadkin to recently employ five new members of staff across a number of areas that continue to experience growth. These include training, workshop fitting, and CNC support.
Speaking about the family-owned business’ showroom, Alex Daltons, director at Daltons Wadkin, said: “The showroom has always been a very important part of what we offer customers. We’re not just about box shifting. We like to discuss each customer’s unique requirements and make sure they’re getting the right product that is going to suit their needs.
“The showroom and demonstration facility we have is key to that and has continued to be during this pandemic.
“With that success, this rejig will allow us to offer more to customers when it comes to demonstrations. The machines we show are quite demanding when it comes to space and with the ongoing absence of trade shows, it’s even more important than ever for us to be able to offer this facility.”
