TMAT buoyed by sales increases

Chesterfield-based manufacturer, TMAT, has revealed its sales are up 6% year-on-year.

The performance outstrips the national picture that shows a 1% improvement in sales across industry and TMAT are confident of continued success in the second half of the year.

The specialist in acoustic components for tractors and excavators is looking for a new major investor, as previously reported on Bdaily.

Jason Lippitt, MD of TMAT, said: “We were naturally really buoyed by the news that UK manufacturing is enjoying significant improvement after an extended difficult period. But to find from the six-month report that we are performing six times better was just fantastic.

“That’s not to say that we’re prepared to sit back and take it easy, and I don’t think UK manufacturing in general should do so, either: we’re a long way from being out of the woods yet.

“We’ve never – in my time here – competed on price, but rather endeavoured to deliver the best possible product and customer service and will keep working hard to ensure we continue to return these great figures.”
