Breaking into an established market

When we started working with cutting machine manufacturer Swift-Cut they had an ambition to take on established UK competitors with  one product – a plasma cutting table designed by them to meet an unfilled gap in the market for an affordable entry level product.

Five years later the company has a comprehensive range of products targeting different user groups and sells in 35 countries.

Seeking out new markets

In B2B marketing it is not always easy to establish the profile of your potential customers. For some businesses the people they need to market to, which can include end users, decision makers and other key stakeholders, could be anywhere in the world, working in any number of industries with varying job titles.

This was one of the issues facing the UK Gas Technologies Group, which provides turnkey engineering for high purity process systems, when they approached us.
