UK-based collating equipment manufacturer Col-Tec has said overseas business is on the up after a trio of orders from Tanzania.

The three orders all came from separate companies. Col-Tec managing director Paul Bailey claimed that the Tanzanian companies are fighting to keep up with each other.

Col-Tec has also sold a discounted collator into war-torn Lebanon in recent months, as well as more local business in Ireland.

And Bailey believes that this is just a drop in the ocean for business abroad, which for Col-Tec is on the rise.

He said: "Around 65% of our business goes abroad and that will only increase. We have agents on board in the obvious places, but we are also starting to get to countries like Tanzania, Lebanon, Mauritius and Indonesia."
