Blackman & White, a leading specialist in design and manufacture of cutting machines for composite materials, has responded to the recent news about the outcome of the EU referendum, which resulted in majority of voters willing the UK to leave the European Union.

According to Alex White, Blackman & White’s Managing Director, the future is still looking bright and the economy is going strong. “As a British manufacturer we design and engineer all of our machine components in the UK. This means that post Brexit, though the Euro has dropped against the pound significantly, our prices remain at the same competitive level for our UK customers,” he said.

Buying British

“What this means for our European and overseas customers is that their prices have actually dropped, meaning there’s never been a better time for buying British, with an 8% reduction in price for our overseas customers simply because of the strengthening of the Euro and the Dollar.”

“Essentially, buying your quality engineered cutter from Blackman & White today is the same as yesterday, it’s business as usual.”

According to the company, British companies are now expected to be encouraged to tender for British contracts as opposed to having to follow EU guidelines for an all inclusive European tender process. “We see this as a big advantage to UK manufacturers and there will be opportunities for British companies to thrive,” Alex continued.

Optimistic for the future

“We are confident in our company and product offerings and optimistic for the future in a stronger, fairer market. We want to tell our customers across industries including Sign, Display, Graphics, Marine and Composites, that Blackman and White is positive about the future and it’s business as usual.”

Founded in 1964 and based in Essex, England, Blackman & White is a specialist in design and manufacture of cutting machine for composite materials. With roots in sail making and the maritime industry, the company has grown to a leading industry position, working with clients from industries as diverse as aerospace and fashion.
