Although historically SMI had sold a respectable number of machines into the UK & Ireland markets, the overall business turnover in this area was gradually declining and for that reason SMI decided that opening the branch in the UK, in order to have a physical presence with locally-based people managing existing and new customers, was the only way to increase our sales again and improve our customer service". | ||
