There’s No Place Like Home

There’s no place like home. No matter what corner of the country you call home, it is most certainly a special place to you. Okuma America Corporation recognizes this too, which is why we’ve invested in a network of sales, service, and support teams who live and work right in your neighborhood. This commitment has been in place for several decades, resulting in the creation of the largest independently-owned CNC machine distribution network in the Americas. What does this look like? I’m glad you asked…
Where Everyone Knows Your Name
Let your mind wander for a bit. Imagine a world where you occasionally bump into your local service technician at the grocery store, or see your sales engineer at a weekend little league game. Imagine the assurance of personally knowing the local team who can support your CNC machine through every phase of its life. Consider the value of local training and engineering support constantly at your disposal and always customized to your needs. How about availability of local parts inventory geared specifically to the demands of your manufacturing community? Imagine an office location down the street where you are invited to enjoy lunch while learning the latest manufacturing technologies. Imagine a local partner who exists to help make you more profitable! Is this too much to ask?
The Power of Partnership
All of these simple concepts become reality through the commitment of Okuma’s premium distribution partners.
- Arizona CNC Equipment
- EMEC Machine Tools Inc.
- FELCO
- Gosiger
- Hartwig, Inc.
- HEMAQ
- Mayprod Corporación Industrial
- Molinari
- Morris Group
- Okuma Latino Americana
- Thomas Skinner
The fingers of this network spread out across North, Central, and South America to constitute 37 office locations and 1000+ employee members, all intent on helping their local manufacturing community overcome challenges and achieve new heights. These organizations believe in brick and mortar, which represents their true long-term commitment to the local community and customer base. Employees at each local office are factory certified to be your “one stop shop” for any Okuma need, large or small.
All in the Family
These distribution partners are an extension of Okuma America’s own employee family; a philosophy in stark contrast with today’s “one size fits all” corporate approach to CNC sales and service. In reality, Okuma America and its distribution network truly function as one organization in terms of partnership and information/knowledge transfer. The impact to the end-user is a surprisingly personal and unique customer experience, no matter if you own one CNC machine or 100. Together, we strive to make it easier for you to live and do business right where you are, because after all, there’s no place like home.
