Managing director Ian Scott said Alphacam’s impressive performance was across all business sectors and territories.

He said: “Software and service revenues have been strong across all our metal, stone and woodworking product ranges.”

Mr Scott predicted further sales records in the months to come, especially with new products being previewed at the MACH 2006 International Machine Tool show at Birmingham NEC during May.
