MC Machinery Systems, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corp., recently announced that the company has taken a series of measures to strengthen its business in the southeast of the United States.
At the beginning of 2021, MC Machinery Systems opened a technology center in Concord, North Carolina, USA. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the supplier did not hold an opening ceremony until last week.
Bill Isaac, senior vice president of MC Machinery Systems, said, "We started addressing here about three years ago. Concord is a particularly popular place for business expansion."
Like many machine tool manufacturers, MC Machinery Systems is experiencing record annual sales growth, especially in the laser cutting field. According to Bill Isaac, sales of Mitsubishi Laser are breaking records, especially in automation. He said, "Now more than half of our machines are automated."
During the latest opening activities, MC Machinery Systems exhibited GX-F advanced artificial intelligence optical fiber laser, Mitsubishi MV2400-S line EDM equipment, Roku HC658II milling machine, ATC series pressure brake automation system, EA8S card slot EDM equipment, Mitsubishi Diamond BB pressure brake, Videre pressure brake operator support system and laser automation system.
The company believes that automation will be an inevitable trend in the future. MC Machinery Systems has a particularly broad customer portfolio in the southeast, including workshops, OEMs and service centers that provide value-added processes such as cutting and bending.
Bill Isaac pointed out that the company did not see any signs of economic slowdown. Customers of their customers used to buy parts from all over the world. However, as vehicle manufacturers carefully reviewed the flexibility of their supply chains, their demand for local manufacturing in the United States began to increase, which in turn opened the door to more manufacturing work in the southeast and across the country.
In 2022, driven by the continuous growth of demand, manufacturers in the manufacturing field still need to get full support from machinery manufacturers. The new Southeast Technology Center of MC Machinery Systems has become a good undertaking platform.
The technology center is actually a base for the company's technicians in the southeast region. The factory covers a total area of 16000 square feet, including 13500 square feet in the manufacturing equipment exhibition hall. The related products on display include EDM and laser machines, milling systems and press brakes. It also includes a training area for on-site and virtual training; In addition, there is a live demonstration area and a virtual demonstration area.
It is reported that the factory provides local direct sales, service, application and training support for MC Machinery Systems' customers and dealers in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia.
