Mazak has made this commitment to the North American manufacturing industry to help companies meet application development challenges and to educate the industry on the potential impact of emerging laser technology. Bill Citron, president Mazak Optonics states "In the current economy, it is important to believe in what you are doing, and move forward in the direction of your goals. Mazak has made this investment as a result of our firm belief in this market, and to help our customers achieve their goals."
In addition to the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, Grand Opening events on May 12 and 13, 2009 will center on the impact of technology on manufacturing costs and will include a presentation by Bob St Aubin, vice president, Mazak Optonics, on The Implementation of HyperLean Strategies to Improve Your Company's Economy. Grand Opening events will also include presentations by current users of Hyper Technology that will describe how they implemented the technology in their companies and the financial impact. There will be demonstrations of Mazak 2D and 3D equipment and the opportunity to discuss your applications with Mazak's technical staff.
