2010 review
Doherty Hungary grew by 18% in 2010 (to date). It
has been a great year for the development of the business and the
growing of our customer base. This year most of the growth came from the
domestic appliance sector. Last year, in the face of a serious
recession, it was the automotive sector that gave us the growth. This
was due mainly to new products being launched such as the electric park
brake and energy efficient power steering motors that used our shafts.
In 2010 we invested in three new turning machines and new measuring
equipment which you can see in the photos. All machines, including the
new ones, are running 3 shifts 5 days a week. In anticipation of new
orders we completely refurbished two of our Petewe CNC grinders and they
are now running with improved Cpk ratings. On the personnel front we
are delighted to welcome Agnes Nagy to the company as HR Manager. In the
next 6 months Agnes will be ensuring that all job descriptions,
training plans and personnel reviews are all up to date and that we are
developing all our staff to a higher level of potential. We have
"refreshed" our corporate identity and it is being standardised across
the business to include workwear, stationery, signs, banners, corporate
gifts and promotional materials. On our Facebook page you can see some
photographs of our stand at the Coil Winding show in Berlin where we met
most of our customers and hopefully several new ones too !
