Discussing why Durma chose ETG as its partner for the UK, Durma UK Sales Manager Aykut Ozturk says: “We needed a new partner to accelerate our growth in the UK. The UK is our 6th largest market and it has huge potential with sheet metal machinery sales in the region of £900m a year. To increase our exposure and sales, we identified ETG as the perfect partner. ETG has a world-class showroom facility and it already works with industry-leading brands like Nakamura-Tome, Chiron and many others – so we knew they had a pedigree of working with prestige brands like Durma. Additionally, ETG has an excellent reputation for service and support, which is critical considering our significant UK customer base.”

The Durma brand has a reputation as one of Europe’s most prestige sheet metal and fabrication machine tool brands. The build quality, innovation and automation solutions are incredible and the technical support provided in the UK by Durma will be unprecedented – this will also exemplify how important the UK market is for Durma.”
