Blakell Europlacer pronounces that UK market is alive and well

Article Type: Industry news From: Soldering & Surface Mount Technology, Volume 24, Issue 3

Blakell Europlacer Ltd a designer and manufacturer of comprehensive SMT placement systems for the global electronics industry, announces that its first quarter UK sales have comfortably exceeded £1.25 million.

As a long established and widely respected UK manufacturer and supplier of highly flexible surface mount pick-and-place machines and stencil printers, Blakell Europlacer, like many others, has witnessed the “ups and downs” of the UK market. However, despite numerous bad news stories in the media recently, it would appear that the UK SMT market is in pretty good health. Blakell Europlacer Distribution – UK distributors for complete SMT line solutions has seen sales for the first quarter of 2012 exceeding £1.25 million.

The sales have come from right across the board – from Blakell’s “core” products, Europlacer and Speedprint, but also include TSM reflow ovens, R&D Technologies Vapor Phase Systems and a number of Tagarno manual inspection units.

Blakell Europlacer Distribution is a division within Blakell Europlacer Ltd and as such, draws on a wealth of knowledge gained over many years of experience in supporting UK and global SMT manufacturers.

Blakell Europlacer Distribution is attending the National Electronics Week exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham on 18-19th April at Booth no.: 76 and would be pleased to demonstrate their Speedprint stencil printer and Europlacer iineo systems on the showcase Live Line – the centerpiece of the exhibition.
