RA Rodriguez is actively seeking to build on the success of its operation in 2004 by increasing product storage capacity at its UK sales headquarters in Letchworth, Hertfordshire.

A mezzanine floor has been installed providing 100m2 of additional storage space for the company's ever-expanding range of engineering products.

It also accommodates a brand new computer system that has been specified to meet the growing needs of this business whose sales both in the UK and abroad have increased significantly in the last year.

During 2004, RA Rodriguez increased its UK sales by over 20%.
"Surprisingly this boost has been across our product range", explained MD John Williamson.

"As soon as one of our product divisions edged ahead, the others followed suit".

Another significant contributor to last year's growth was export sales.

Although RA Rodriguez acts as sole UK distributor for several of its product ranges, the scope of its operation for others is far more international.

"We are now selling Greenlign bearing housings to Australia, KHK stock gears to the wider Europe and Spirolox retaining rings to Japan", Williamson concluded.

In 2004, the company's export quota increased by an impressive 50%.
