What Sodi-Tech EDM does

Sodi-Tech EDM Ltd is the exclusive UK distributor and European hub for Sodick's Electrical Discharge Machine (EDM) product lines, operating from its headquarters and showroom in Warwick. The company sells die-sinking EDM (AL40G, AL60G, AL60G+), wire EDM (ALC and VN series), hole drilling EDM, Sodick high-speed milling machines, and Sodick injection moulding machines (GL30-LP, MS100), complemented by genuine Sodick consumables, factory-refurbished machines, machine relocation services, and application engineering support.

The company operates an enterprise field-sales go-to-market with a dedicated team led by Sales Director Greg Capp, Sales Manager Richard Bailey, and Technical Sales Manager Conor Plaskitt, supported by an applications and technology centre at Warwick. Revenue is generated through direct new-machine sales, consumables, refurbished machine exchange, professional services (installation, training, calibration, relocation), and finance/leasing packages including 35th-anniversary promotional offers. Customer concentration sits primarily in mould and die, aerospace and defence, automotive, medical device, energy, and micromachining verticals, with named accounts such as A&M EDM (57 Sodick machines), TRAC Precision Solutions, and The Engineering Quest.
