KASTO goes from strength to strength

摘要

KASTO specialises in the manufacture of multi-level warehouses for automatic storage and retrieval of material and production of sawing machines for accurate cutting. Manufacture of multi-level warehouses for storing and retrieving bar, tube, sheet and other material automatically and production of the world's most extensive range of sawing machines for cutting the material accurately are specialities of the German firm KASTO. Its UK subsidiary which has been supplying these products to the manufacturing and stockholding sectors for more than a decade reports buoyant sales on both sides of its business. Managing director Ernst Wagner makes interesting comments on the choices British industry is making regarding where goods are manufactured: "I have seen a marked change in sentiment since 2003 when I joined KASTO. Back then offshoring of production was in vogue to save costs and improve margins. In some cases this was successful and has been sustained, particularly for less complex work.
