Manufacturer and supplier of crusher spare parts and crusher services, Crusher Manganese Steels Ltd (CMS Cepcor) has been awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade for outstanding achievement in export sales. Founded in 1989, Crusher Manganese Steels, marketing their business under the trademark CMS Cepcor, has successfully grown into a leading aftermarket manufacturer and supplier of precision crusher spare parts, premium manganese wear parts and crusher repairs, servicing the quarrying and mining Industries worldwide.
Having recently announced a further expansion of their manufacturing and distribution facilities at their Coalville headquarters in the UK, the company believes that the award has quantified this expansion and underlined the success of their export sales strategy. CMS Cepcor exported to over 450 customers in 88 countries over the three year period covered by the application. Despite the worldwide economic recession and credit crisis, export turnover increased by 16% in 2010 and then a further increase of 58% in 2011. Now exporting to over 100 countries, CMS Cepcor’s projected turnover in their current financial year ending April 2012 will exceed £21 million, a further 20% growth. This success is a result of having refocused its export sales strategy on new markets, particularly in Africa, Europe and the Americas.
CMS Cepcor’s wide experience in crushing equipment used in mining has resulted in higher sales to customers in this sector specifically. Chris Sydenham, Technical Director, commented: “Our knowledge of primary gyratory and high capacity secondary and tertiary cone crushers is unrivalled, our mining customers appreciate that when they purchase from us they are not only buying premium replacement parts but also technical expertise and vast engineering experience of the equipment they operate, this is something that our mining customers value very highly as they rely on quality engineering advice and technical expertise to ensure that their machines operate efficiently in often very remote geographical areas with little or no local support.”
The company says its growth has been achieved through a focus on optimisation of web presence together with an engineering focus on producing quality products plus an expansion of the range of services offered to our ever increasing customer base. More overseas visits for direct contact with customers and establishing business partners in key overseas territories has also aided the rapid growth. Matthew Weare, Managing Director, commented: “To receive this highly prestigious award is fantastic recognition of our success. CMS Cepcor is grateful to the hard work and dedication of all its employees who have contributed to this outstanding performance and to the support of its valued suppliers and customers, old and new”.
