In 2007 Marco maintained its investment programme in product development and the resultant growth in all areas has proved very satisfying.

In particular the core business product of Factory Efficiency Solutions has sustained its market penetration and continues to justify the focus placed on it by the company. Several strategic senior appointments were completed in 2007, adding powerful skill sets to the team. Additions in the systems development area will ensure that the TRAC-IT MES range of products pushes further forward with additional functionality and flexibility.

In 2007 the complete range of hardware products were redeveloped to take full advantage of the very latest electronics and components. This in turn has ensured that our software solutions operate on fast stable platforms. Faster solutions equate to a faster return on investment and this ethos remains central to our development aims.

The company significantly increased its market share within the 'Food' sector, particularly in 'Convenience' and 'Soft Fruit'. Contracts awarded by the Pharmaceutical industry increased well beyond expectations and Aviation continued its recent upward trend. We also embarked on several OEM partnerships that proved beneficial to all parties.

2007 was a truly fulfilling year, and one in which Marco continued to build on its reputation for proven quality solutions. The year ahead will be filled with many challenges which the team at Marco are more than ready to meet head on.

Here's to that challenge !
