"There is no doubt that the current market is tough," he states.
"Any edge that we can get within the industry is a bonus and installing the SBZ122 has given us that edge, unequivocally".
Ravenworth specialises in large-scale projects, where speed and accuracy are prerequisites for the construction process.
"The value of the CNC machine is that it is 100% accurate, with each component identical to the rest," continues Paul.
"This eliminates any delays or inaccuracies on site and for our clients, this has a knock on effect of removing any unforeseen and unwelcome costs thrown up by those delays".
"Service and quality are the attributes that contractors are looking for in their suppliers and with the SBZ122 offering a much faster turnaround, we can deliver what the client wants".
The SBZ122 has been designed specifically for the aluminium market, a market that is experiencing steady growth despite the current 'credit crunch'.
"The construction industry has learnt many lessons since the last downfall in production," comments Phil Heavey, Managing Director of Elumatec.
"And one thing that has emerged is the value of investing in the highest quality technology and machinery to ensure accuracy of products and systems".
"This is where our machinery is scoring over the opposition - our CNC machines offer speed, precision and cost efficiency and are a powerful asset in the challenge to stay successful in such a volatile economic climate".
"The proof can be seen by looking at our flourishing customer base.".
