From its head office and showroom in Lancashire, the company manufactures, supplies and maintains woodworking machinery for a wide range of furniture and joinery businesses worldwide, with teams of technical experts on-hand to ensure the highest possible standard of customer service.
“Our key product lines comprise a full range of panel and joinery machines, available from a stock of over 200,” explains VWM’s sales director, Jason Varey.
“We also hold a stock of four CNC routers at any one time, covering our full range: the Start machine for the entry-level user; the ECO Machine for the more advanced user looking for different configurations; the MD Machine, an advanced-user machine with greater feed rates than our ECO, Start and PC-driven options; as well as the HD Machine, which is a topline machine available with panel loading/unloading, fast feed rates and multiple head options.
“Our core strength is that we are very much in control of the manufacture of our Technos machines, having been involved with them since 2002 and selling over 80 machines over the years. Our engineers have been involved with the manufacture of the machine – we are not an agency, and we have full control over service and spares on our machines, unlike others who need to revert to the manufacturer when issues arise! We hold spare parts on the shelf and a stock of machinery for technical support.
“Our range stands out, as we cater from the entry-level user right up to a serious production unit, giving the customer confidence to grow with our Technos brand from the start. I also believe that our technical know-how is second-to-none – we are CNC technicians, not salespeople.
“A typical customer comes to us to start with CNC, and we have seen this many times. With VWM, the customer has the chance to grow with us and develop his know-how – as an example, we have many customers who bought machines from 2002 and now have several machines from us.
“One in particular has an impressive nine Technos machines. So, he becomes a partner of VWM, not a customer – he also has the same engineers servicing his machines as when he started in 2003.
“2020 has been a magnificent year for us, with total CNCs coming to 23 machines this year! Just missing on one a month, but we will be trying for that next year!”
Concluding, Jason says: “We plan to further develop our Start range of CNC routers, starting with a new machine coming into stock in February, with fast feed speeds and variations of table sizes. Also, we have several new classical machines coming out, with a new range of tenoners and boring machines landing in January.”
VWM has a full stock of classical machines and new Technos CNC machining centres, ready for delivery and demonstration.
