SALES OF FORTRESS METAL DETECTORS IN SPAIN SOAR BY 40 PER CENT

Barcelona-based Le Jackson, which has been the Spanish distributor of Fortress Technology since 2004, has announced a massive 40 per cent increase in sales of the organisation’s world-class metal detection systems.

José Manuel Rosúa of Le Jackson says:  “In our experience, Fortress metal detectors offer the best balance between price and performance, plus they are reliable and easy to set up, as well as simple to operate.”

Le Jackson, which was established in 1941, specialises in packaging and processing solutions for the food industry.

Seňor Rosúa continues:  “Historically, it has been difficult for us to sell to some of the larger organisations within the food industry which have made the decision to standardise the brand of equipment that they purchase.

“However, we have continued to target this sector of the market and a number of those bigger companies are now beginning to consider us for their requirements.  We believe this is due to a combination of factors, such as the high quality of Fortress equipment, the wide range of models available and the breadth of experience that we have obtained over the years in installation and servicing.

He concludes: “And of course we would not have achieved such success had it not been for the on-going help and support provided by the Fortress team in the UK.”

MD of Fortress Technology, Sarah Ketchin, says:  “We are obviously delighted with the sales figures from our Spanish distributor within the food industry.  And, since we have a number of machines that are suitable for other markets, our plan is to target a wider range of industries in Spain in 2011.”

Established in the UK since 1999, Fortress Technology is backed by skilled in-house design, technical and consultancy teams and a growing distributor network. The company offers high quality spare parts, flexible warranty packages, training, product testing and rental units.
