Will you sell accessories/ancillary equipment? A. All machines come with extremely high specifications as standard, many of which we believe would be unobtainable or expensive optional extras from other suppliers. We offer a variety of turning and milling machining centres from 300mm to 1,000mm travel, all of which can handle 4- or 5-axis simultaneous machining. Popular machine models/ specifications will be stocked at our facility in Sheffield with custom specifications available as a factory build. Ancillary equipment such as swarf management, 4- and 5-axis rotary units, bar feeds, tooling/ workholding and probing will be available from Syil CNC UK through an extensive partner network. Q. The UK machine tool market is pretty established. How are you going to position Syil in the marketplace so you’ll be able to compete? A. I think our overriding USP is excellent quality machines, exemplary levels of customers service and unbeatable pricing. And as we’ve mentioned, a two-year parts and labour warranty is standard on all machines with three- and five-year options available. Warranty site visits are within 48 hours and a wide range of spares are available from the UK. We offer a personalised service utilising our partner network and we speak from experience. We’re not about high-pressure sales and we’re definitely not a ‘sell and run’ type machine tool company – a customer’s success is our success and we genuinely care. And of course through our US partner, Titans of CNC, we can offer a certified free training curriculum and other educational materials to really level up the standard of education in the UK. I agree the UK is an established market, but we have managed to exceed our first year’s sales targets in our first month of trading. The response from the marketplace has been overwhelming. Our mantra ‘Run by engineers, for engineers’ underpins everything we do. Q. Things are looking promising then. Any other plans you can tell me about? A. Well, we aim to open a second UK showroom – somewhere near the M25 – early in 2025 and in terms of products, we’ll expand the range by one to two machines every year. In addition, automation is always a hot topic so we intend to introduce a range of machine tending solutions also in 2025. Finally we’re actively looking to grow the headcount with additional sales managers, applications engineers and office staff. As a final important point, we’re committed to advancing manufacturing precision and efficiency and we strive to empower businesses in the UK market. We are here to help push forward the movement of getting Britain manufacturing again as we are extremely good at it! n Syil UK https://uk.syil.com
