WATER JET CUTTING MACHINES AT HALF THE PRICE YOU WERE EXPECTING!
Incredible but true – we have set out to give the market what it wants – truly affordable machines.
Beat the change in capital allowances before April 6th.
By careful market research and sourcing, the critical price point for the market has been met and customers are genuinely surprised by the typical price for pure water or abrasive water jet cutting machines.
At Global Cutting Technologies, having been involved with the water jet market for many years, we were only too aware that many potential customers would become really excited about the process only to be discouraged by the high asking price.
This hurdle has finally been removed by the introduction of the NOVA range of water jet cutting machines at remarkably low prices but with high specification features such as ball leadscrew axis drives and remote diagnostics included as standard.
The ‘all inclusive’ pricing policy has proved a real winner with no add-ons other than installation – what you see is what you get.
GCT’s famous commitment to after sales back up continues with £50,000.00 worth of spare parts inventory having been put into stock and a team of centrally based engineers [GCT’s engineers – not contractors] have been fully trained and offer quick response when needed.
Investment in a brand new showroom with a demonstration machine always available for test cutting seals the deal!
Open days, which have been so successful, will be held at 10 week intervals throughout 2012 in addition to individually tailored demonstrations and tests for prospective customers as required.
AT LAST! AFFORDABLE WATER JET CUTTING MACHINES FOR EVERYONE.
Until recently, water jet cutting machines were regarded as an elitist process, only affordable by companies with a large bank balance.
At Global Cutting Technologies, having been involved with the water jet market for many years, we were only too aware of this with many potential customers becoming really excited about the process only to be discouraged by the high asking price.
This hurdle has finally been removed by the introduction of the NOVA range of water jet cutting machines at remarkably low prices but with high specification features such as ball leadscrew axis drives and remote diagnostics included as standard.
Available in the market place for the last three years, second generation machines have now been introduced and sales have gone through the roof as a result.
The ‘all inclusive’ pricing policy has proved a real winner with no add-ons other than installation – what you see is what you get.

RECORDS ABOUND FOR GLOBAL CUTTING TECHNOLOGIES
Despite all the gloom and doom pervading the news media, GCT have ploughed on with their expansion programme and achieved notable milestones and records during the year.
- Record turnover for machinery sales.
- Record turnover for service and spare parts.
- Record sales of swing arm cutting presses.
- Record sales of water jet cutting machines
- Record sales of automated die cutting systems.
Without doubt, the new factory and state of the art showroom and testing facilities have driven these successful results along with the considerable investment in stock machines.
On the subject of stock machines, the policy of buying and stocking large quantities of swing arm cutting presses has really paid off with sales more than tripling. As the investment level for a GCT swing arm press is surprisingly manageable, buyers usually come to a decision quickly and then, understandably, want a quick delivery. GCT’s stocking policy aims to deliver a new machine within just a few days of the order being placed.
Recent open days have proved to be such a popular theme that more are being planned and these will become a regular event in the coming year.
Further exciting new equipment has been added to the cutting machinery range and announcements regarding these will be made in the coming weeks.
OPEN DAYS HUGE SUCCESS AT GCT
The completion of GCT’s newly extended showroom and the formalization of the distributor agreement for the Elitron CNC knife cutting table coincided to produce extremely well supported open days during July.
A team of sales and support staff from Elitron combined with GCT engineers to demonstrate the amazing versatility and smart software, cutting a huge range of gasket materials, foam, packaging, polycarbonate and carpet materials.
Visitors from many industries attended, having been attracted not just by the CNC knife cutting table, but by the Nova water jet cutting machine and also the extensive range of die cutting presses which were all displayed during the event.
Interestingly, there is now an increasing awareness that water jet cutting machines can be no more expensive than a CNC knife cutting table [at, least not as far as GCT’s portfolio is concerned] so the technologies can be offered in a totally unbiased way in order to find the genuinely best solution for any given cutting application.
This theme really resonated with customers old and new, many of whom completely realigned their thoughts on machine type and investment criteria.
A number of orders were closed shortly after the open day sessions and, in fact, the event was so successful and well supported [in fact it was over subscribed!] more open days are already being planned and will become a regular event in the cutting industry calendar.
However, GCT are keen to point out that they currently have the largest range of cutting machinery on permanent display under one roof and customers obviously do not need to wait for open days – they are welcome to visit [and indeed many do] at any time in order to avail themselves of a focused evaluation of their applications, taking as much time as they require to run through die cutting presses, water jet cutting or CNC knife cutting.
Full conference facilities are also available with access to a vast library of videos showing machinery and solutions for every conceivable industrial cutting application.
Additionally, GCT’s extensive sub contract die cutting facility is now fully up and running to provide a service which has been requested so often by customers over the years.
This facility is providing a cutting service for customers who experience peaks in production but may not be ready to invest in equipment or who have a general outsourcing policy. Work is even being processed for customers awaiting delivery of new systems but are in need of capacity in the intervening period.
All these facilities and services are combining to provide the most comprehensive ‘one stop shop’ for GCT customers:
• New die cutting presses and systems
• Water jet cutting machines
• CNC knife cutting tables
• The Nova range of low cost cutting machines
• Second hand cutting presses
• Sub contract die cutting
• Spare parts
• Service
EXPANSION CONTINUES APACE AT GLOBAL CUTTING TECHNOLOGIES
With the first year already having gone by since Global Cutting Technologies moved to larger, prestige premises, continuing implementation of a strategic growth plan has resulted in a record order book for the company.
GCT’s new showroom was opened in January and in order to accommodate an increasing number of demonstration machines and the larger than expected throughput of customers, the showroom is already being increased in size. Contracts have now been awarded and work is expected to be completed by the end of June.
The aim is to always have available for demonstration and testing the following cutting machine derivatives:
• Swing arm press
• Travelling head press
• Fixed beam press
• Receding head press
• High speed kiss cutting press
• Water jet cutting machine
• CNC knife cutting table.
With particular reference to ‘dieless cutting’, GCT’s water jet machine sales have accelerated way beyond original forecasts with many machines ordered and awaiting delivery.
GCT have also been appointed as exclusive distributor for the UK and Ireland for the innovative Elitron CNC knife cutting table.
This heavy duty machine, in conjunction with its advanced blade technology, elegant software and projection system, is eminently suitable for the gasket, foam and rubber industries. Hard gasket materials can be processed as well as foam up to 120mm thick.
Having both water jet and knife cutting machines in the range, GCT can offer the best dieless cutting solution in an unbiased fashion.
A series of open days are now being planned and all gasket producers will be contacted with full details in due course.

NEW SHOWROOM OPENS ON SCHEDULE
GCT’s new showroom was completed on schedule in the middle of January with customers and suppliers old and new attending the celebratory initial open day.
Tailored presentations and machine demonstrations for the entire range – including swing arm presses, travelling head presses, fixed beam presses, receding head presses and the Nova water jet cutting machine, have taken place on various days since then and this will become a regular feature.
More die cutting presses arrive shortly including a high speed kiss cutting machine and a price busting new travelling head press.
A select few were also invited to see a highly specified cutting and heat seal system which is finding many applications in the medical, filtration and automotive industries.
The Nova water jet cutting machine has been demonstrated to a large number of customers, the latest model having high speed drives and an innovative drilling head. Materials from foam to sheet steel and aluminium were cut for applications both familiar and obscure, opening the way to new markets.
The effect of this has been to drive GCT’s order book way above pre-recession levels.
The only problem has been that to satisfy the demand for recent orders, some showroom machines have had to be sold but more are on the way soon and the need for higher stock levels has already been identified.
THE SHOW MUST GO ON
Despite the appalling weather conditions prevailing throughout the UK, by careful planning and sheer hard work at GCT, few customers have experienced significant delays to installations and service work.
Four huge consignments of machinery arrived in the midst of the worst snow (our thanks to our shippers!) including a container load of swing arm cutting presses, receding head presses and fixed beam cutting presses.
All machines were checked, given their p.d.i. and dispatched to waiting customers within 7 days.
Meanwhile, work continued on the new showroom with stock machines being installed and even urgent demonstrations taking place.
On top of this, two water jet cutting machines arrived and were assembled, checked and run – one for the showroom and one dispatched and installed with a customer.
Meanwhile, regular service and breakdown work on all types of cutting machine continued to be coordinated and implemented.
For the few customers who did experience a delay – our thanks for your patience!!
NEW SHOWROOM FOR GLOBAL CUTTING TECHNOLOGIES
Although it has been only 6 months since moving to new purpose built premises, GCT are charging ahead with their expansion plans with work starting on a new demonstration centre to be housed within the new building.
This new facility will be open in January with a series of open days being planned to showcase a range of new machines and developments.
Included in the open days will be the complete Nova range which has been an incredible success due to its highly competitive pricing – swing arm presses, fixed beam presses and the Nova water jet cutting machine.
In particular, the Nova water jet machine continues to go from strength to strength with customers’ enjoying the benefits of high specification, carefully sourced machines at amazingly competitive prices – a long list of customers are awaiting demonstrations on the incoming systems.
Stocks of second hand die cutting presses are being increased to meet the continuing demand for good, reconditioned machines, especially automatic travelling head presses which are professionally rebuilt by GCT engineers.
GCT MAKE MACHINE BUYING EVEN EASIER
A new press for the price of a good dinner out!
At GCT we have noticed that there has been a huge upswing in enquiries for second hand cutting presses from companies with restricted budgets. Whilst we can and do rebuild and supply many second hand presses of all types and sizes, the cost of quality rebuilding and a responsible attitude to safety requirements often means that the final price of the reconditioned cutting press starts to move towards new price territory.
Customers may resort to buying at auction or 'as seen' from unscrupulous dealers but this is a minefield - no support, lack of spare parts, safety implications.
To help potential customers, starting with GCT's range of new swing arm presses, an amazing new deal has been put in place to offer a new 20 ton swing arm press for £100.00 per month* and, until the end of October, free delivery is included on the UK mainland.
Response to this innovative approach has been remarkable and this scheme will be rolled out to include other machines in the Nova range - in particular travelling head presses, fixed beam cutting presses and water jet cutting machines.

THE REAL ECONOMY IS HERE
In recession - out of recession - heading for a double dip recession?
If you listen to economists you would at best be confused or at worst suicidal.
Well, let GCT tell you something positive.
As machinery suppliers to manufacturing industry, we are a realistic barometer as to what is really going on - and we are the busiest we have ever been with a record order book.
Swing arm cutting presses, automatic die cutting presses, water jet cutting machines - you name it - we have record orders for them all.
Plus service revenue is at an all time high!
We can find a solution to any die cutting requirement whatever your budget.
So, don't listen to the gloom mongers - talk to us instead!
NOVA RANGE OF CUTTING MACHINES NOW FULLY ESTABLISHED
GCTs recent policy of introducing a range of competitively priced, value engineered die cutting presses and water jet cutting machines has proved to be highly successful.
Throughout the recession it has been apparent from the number of enquiries being received that there are still many companies out there requiring die cutting presses and water jet cutting machines at really manageable prices.
The first thought is always second hand machines which, although often available, do not always fit the bill.
For this reason GCT have carefully sourced a range of swing arm cutting presses, travelling head cutting presses, fixed beam cutting presses and water jet cutting machines at really competitive prices.
The dramatic ramp up of sales has shown this to be the way forward in this part of the market.
Added to this is GCTs drive to stock even more second hand die cutting presses which are professionally reconditioned and offered back out into the market place for a wide range of industrial applications.
Official Opening of Global Cutting Technologies' New Building
On 19th of July, we held our official factory opening ceremony and open day.
Friends old and new, suppliers and customers, attended a champagne buffet which ran all day and throughout the evening.
With the emphasis being on showing off the new facility, visitors were also interested to see stocks of die cutting presses, both new and second hand, and a new Nova water jet cutting machine which was sold on the day.
A live webcam link was in operation for visitors to see GCT's key supplier's factory, Sysco Machinery Corporation, with Sysco,s president, Frank Hsieh, offering his best wishes for continued success and expansion.
An impressive element which was evident on the day, was the huge wealth of die cutting and water jet cutting knowledge inherent within the company plus the network of associates, friends, agents and suppliers throughout the world which combine to provide a massive pool of knowledge from which GCT customers can benefit.
