UK PUNCHES TAKE SOME BEATING

UK marking specialist, Edward Pryor, has won a lucrative order for purpose-made punches featuring the Russian Cyrillic alphabet. The order for a large quantity of sets of the 30 character alphabet has come from Moscow-based agent, Unisell, and is the first of its kind for Pryor.

Many Russian-based companies continue to use hammer-struck character punches for component marking, favouring this method's simplicity, reliability and low unit cost, despite the growing popularity of Pryor's more sophisticated type range. Pryor's recent sales success reflects this preference while illustrating the company's continuing ability to supply purpose-made marking punches of a higher quality than those available locally.

An extensive knowledge of export procedures proved equally advantageous to the Sheffield-based company, for whom overseas markets continue to provide approximately 50% of overall business.

Pryor's cold-formed punches represent a high performance yet cost-efficient alternative to carbide punches and have won widespread approval for offering an unrivalled combination of versatility, character definition and longevity. A wide range of options includes reverse character punches for use in mould marking applications, together with dot and mini-stress punches for delicate applications in industries such as aerospace, oil and nuclear power.

Edward Pryor's Marketing Manager, Jayne Mezulis, explained "This unusual export order reflects Pryor's world-wide reputation for producing the finest marking punches available, coupled with an ability to satisfy the specific requirements of every conceivable application, irrespective of the customer's budget, location and chosen marking method".
