Paul Greenley, Sales Director Dakin-FlathersWe’ve had fantastic success partnering with machinery manufacturers over the years. Most recognise that in order to give their customers the best possible experience of their machine, they need to supply it with a great blade. That’s why they partner with Dakin-Flathers. Above all, they understand it really doesn’t make sense to sell a machine with a low or variable quality blade.
