Back in February 2020, before many worldwide and market sector changes occurred, Tufcot were kindly nominated by our Department for International Trade adviser for the Northern Powerhouse as an Export Champion for 2020.
We are extremely proud to be an Export Champion for 2020 and we hope we can continue to support this initiative for many years to come.
This initiative was started in the North West in 2013 and has subsequently grown to companies who fulfil a crucial role in being a positive exporter from the UK overseas.
The Champions are Companies who have successfully sold overseas and are preparing to encourage others to attempt their own exporting growth.
This involves Tufcot and other Champions being involved in round table discussions (more Zoom or Video discussions now), contributing to the DIT’s strategies on how to successfully export and assisting with advice where necessary.
International Trade
Tufcot are now at the forefront of international trade and advising new Companies on how best to export successfully.
We have had export values of above 85% of our turnover for many years now and put our success down to strong business co-operation with many international customers and partners.
Although the recent pandemic has slowed the plans Tufcot has for further international growth, we still plan to make new territories an important part of our International Marketing Plan.
Although Tufcot see our International business as crucial, in 2020 we are also focusing on growing our UK based sales as many companies still use conventional bearing materials in the UK when Tufcot® composite materials are an ideal replacement material.
Our Made in Sheffield membership and our close relationship with the DIT, our local Chamber of Commerce make creating UK focused work a lot easier than it once was.
The Future
Exporting and International trade will be changing over the next 6/12 months with Brexit and the implications of COVID-19 but Tufcot are ready to react and diversify where required to make sure the Tufcot brand continues to be exposed and grow.
