END OF 2009 BUSY FOR CTM (Source:Urethanes Technology, April/May '10)
During 2009, Barnsley, UK-based CTM Equipment Ltd saw Trelleborg successfully making the world's largest bend stiffeners using its bespoke design. CTM's 15-machine deal for Cannon in 2009 came about as a UK-based water boiler manufacturer switched from a centralised plant to 15 regional centres, each requiring a PU production cell.
Shane Wootton, managing director, said the latter part of 2009 was busy: CTM converted five CTM GSPU (glass syntactic PU) metering units - to PU elastomer for projects for the offshore sector.
CTM also moved to new, larger premises in December 2009. Wootton noted that it has "excellent bank backing (Lloyds Banking Group) who "provided funding for the purchase of this new facility whist maintaining levels of trading overdraft facilities."
