One of the UKÂs leading providers of mechanical and hydraulic presses is set to mark 65 years of manufacturing in Stourbridge by hitting £1.75m annual sales in 2014.
Worcester Presses, which employs 8 people at its Titan Works factory, has enjoyed a surge in demand for its range of machines, with strong growth currently being seen across key industry sectors, including automotive, aerospace and building products.
More than 26 presses - ranging in size from 3 to 3000 tonnes - were sold in the UK last year and this has seen turnover increase to over £1.5m, creating a job for the firmÂs first apprentice in more than two decades.
The company is hoping this figure will increase rapidly, with the MACH 2014 Show in April set to mark the unveiling of a new 60 tonne press, with quick die change and touch screen control.
