With a more honed and efficient production process , the business has begun to expand into the US market . “ The US trailer market is bigger than the whole of Europe combined so it ’ s a really exciting prospect . We ’ ve spent the last year researching and developing our business and products in preparation . In the last month we ’ ve gained approval for the products to be sold in the US and we ’ ve attended a trade show and signed up our first dealer . We are now entering the launch phase so within a couple of months we ’ ll have produced the first trailers for America and have them on ships crossing the Atlantic . We have launched a dedicated website for the US , and we will have finalized the design details to make sure everything produced in our factory will be to a US standard .”
