They have not filed any accounts for 2007 and probably no one will ever see any.. Going into administration is the word in the industry. Danoptra are in discussion with their bankers to stay afloat. They own Bell Fruit who DOND BTB is their best selling AWP machine in TEN years ..... THEIR !!!
Please try and get facts correct when posting.
For your information best selling AWP in UK past 40 years , when legalised in 1968 is>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BAR X.
Their no documented proof. AWP stats are complied at BACTA, their was a levy at one time on every machine manufactured and manufacturers do supply numbers to BACTA, but not always accurate. Anyway they only keep records for three years.
However, considering Bar X first showed up in 1983 and has sold good numbers since, it is generally accepted in the industry as the best selling machine of all time.
Hang on. just get down off your high horse for a min. I can only go by what I read and they don't state that CYBTB is THEIR best seller they state that it is THE best seller. They are probably only counting Hi-tec's though.
