Associated Machine Tool Technologies, Inc. (AmTTech), of Houston, TX, and Machine Tool Specialties of Tulsa, OK, signed distribution agreements with Grob Systems, Inc. to exclusively represent Grob products in the State of Texas and Oklahoma, respectively. Their primary focus will be to market and exhibit Grob’s new offering of standard machine tools, the G Series lineup of 5- axis horizontalmachining Centers, to their extensive client bases statewide. AmTTech is headquartered in Houston, TX, with a second location inArlington, TX.AmTTech has over 40,000 square feet of office/warehouse space including over 11,000 feet of state-of-the-art showroom between the two locations. “We were interested in expanding our productmix in order to better serve our diverse group of clients,” said Jack Butts, AmTTech’s founder and President. “We investigated virtually every 5-axis machining center currently on the market and from our perspective the Grob product line best supports our business model and philosophy. For the last 19 years we have been working with our clients in Texas to improve their profitability by partnering with AmTTech for the sales, service and support of their CNC machine tools. Traditionally this relationship begins from the moment an AmTTech sales representative begins to work with a client on a machine tool need and continues as long as our client requires service and support in order to keep their CNC equipment in optimum chip-making condition. We have the ability and expertise to provide machine tool recommendations, solutions in and for manufacturing process, detailed time studies, application support and training aswell as on-going service support. From our viewpoint Grob Systems offers the same level of services, this being said they are a natural fit forAmTTech aswell as our loyal following of satisfied customers.” “We expect to have a Grob G350 HMC on the floor in our Houston Productivity Center in the very near future,” said Jack Butts, “thus allowing our clients to see first hand a demonstration of an incredibly accurate,American- built, German-engineered, 5-axis HMC. The G Series is a purpose-built 5- axis format, with three axes of movement (Y +A& B) on the table. This very unique design minimizes potential tool interference, improves work piece accessibility by allowing the table and part to be completely inverted during the machining process and directly addresses the inherent issue of chip flow and buildup.We (AmTTech) pride ourselves on being able to provide literally everything a customer could possibly need when it comes to chip-making CNC machine tools. Now, with the Grob G Series added to our product mix, I feel our ability to offer solutionsbased support to our existing, as well as future customers, is second to none.” For more information contact: Robert Ruelle, Account Director of Standard Machines Grob Systems Inc. 1070 Navajo Drive Bluffton, OH 45817 419-369-2955 info@us.grobgroup.com www.grobgroup.com/en/ S.
