El Clúster de Sistemas Aeronáuticos del PTA **se consolida como referente de colaboración en su sector**
Title of a press release regarding a workgroup consisting of a number of firms collaborating together to help compete in different markets etc. Basically the article announces that that six new firms have recently joined, making the cluster more competitive etc.
Can't think of a decent way to put the last part in English...it's a typical spanish construction that just doesn't work for me translated literally into English....any ideas would be a big help! Thanks!!! :)

strengthens its presence // magnifies its presence // emerges as a new [and powerful] force
You could add "market" before "presence" in both instances.
I think that a solution without "collaboration" will sound more natural, and that "en el sector" need not necessarily be translated at all (given that it seems that it would be understood from the context of the lead paragraph or sub-header of the article.
Suerte.

is (well-) established as a benchmark in collaboration
This typical corporate boast can be expressed lots of ways. The "consolida" part means they are now consolidated/well -established (etc); the "referente" means they/it are/is a benchmark, point or reference, role model, shining example (etc etc).
Putting it all together is a breeze, but making it sound less hackneyed and insincere is another kettle of worms...

I think the "notion of "collaboration" should be kept intact, if not explicity at least implicitly, as they are obviously trying to drum up support for a joint/group effort.

I also think that "in its sector/industry/area" could remain too, as it specifies the theatre of action. However, I'm not about to pooh-pooh any suggestions to the contrary...

Note from asker:
| Thanks neilmac! I like the use of benchmark. I'm toying with a possible translation, I'll put it up in the discussion ;) |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |

: For "Consolidarse" (which sounds strange in Eng. on its own), "consolidates its position/place/ranking....." often sounds better.

becomes consolidated as lead collaborator
..in it's sector...
In this case I think it's actually fine to stick pretty close to the source text.
But I like the other suggestions too, so really this is just an extra idea for you.

Discussion
I liked neilmac's use of benchmark (I was thinking reference point, but I think I like benchmark more). Upon reflection, due to context I think consolidated needs to stay in somehow, as the article explains how the "workgroup" has now become the "cluster", something more official, with the introduction of the new members...hope that makes sense!!
