The economic rebound from the Covid-19 lockdowns enabled Yamazaki Mazak to record a strong year for machine sales in 2021, including its highest monthly order intake across Europe in its history in October.

“The combination of a rebound in general subcontracting, strong sales in food and packaging, resilient yellow goods and agriculture sectors, and continued strong levels of investment from energy sector customers have all delivered outstanding sales growth,” says Alan Mucklow, managing director of UK sales, Eire and national distributors, who is cautiously optimistic about the year ahead. “The economic situation is not without challenges, but we’re expecting a rebound in aerospace and further growth in turnkey automation solutions to help machine users navigate the skills challenge.”
