A BRACKNELL software company has seen record year for sales and recruitment.

Bracknell-based MESTEC has seen sales grow by more than 40% this year, as more manufacturing companies use its services.

The business has created more than 15 new jobs because of the growth, with plans in place to increase over the next twelve months.

“We’ve already won our first three pieces of business in this part of the world since the acquisition and that is definitely something we want to build on,” explained general manager Mark Carleton.

“What makes us different is the time we take on the shopfloor to understand all the different processes and labour issues, building up a clear picture of where our technology can make a real difference.

“This is critical and gives clear transparency to both parties. It also allows us to deliver the fastest deployment times in our industry meaning our customers can be enjoying cost and time savings within a matter of weeks/months.

The company is planning to expand to North America through its US parent-company.
