We’re Family

Anyone who works with Okuma knows, we’re a family. Whether you’re a customer, distributor, partner or employee – you’re important to us, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to serve.

We work together as a team. We stick together to solve even the toughest CNC machining challenges. Together we celebrate manufacturing victories. Do we ever have arguments? Of course! We call them “growth opportunities.” And they usually are.

If you’ve ever been to the Okuma America headquarters in Charlotte, you’ll see we have an open office layout. There are no walls. We do have short spacers between our desks, so we’re not as open as many office spaces are in Japan. This can take some time to get used to at first, but it does work, because we share a strong spirit of camaraderie.

We’ve published our company’s Vision, Mission and Values for all to see. This includes lots of family-oriented values such as caring for others, acting as one, and contagious energy. We focus on living out these values every day.

So you know it comes straight from the heart when we say – Happy Holidays, and we look forward to serving you in the new year!
