Mazak customers in Mexico will soon benefit from enhanced levels of localized customer service and support with the grand opening of the Preci facility in Queretaro. The brand new building will house applications and service technicians, offer training to customers and demonstrate some of the most advanced Mazak machine tool and automation technologies, including those specifically geared toward the area's well-entrenched aerospace and automotive industries.

Mazak and Preci will welcome local manufacturers to attend the new facility's Open House, June 8-9, 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm daily, with an exclusive Grand Opening ribbon cutting ceremony on June 8 from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm at Autopista México-Querétaro Km. 196, Localidad El Colorado, El Marqués, Querétaro, CP. 76246, México.

"The new building gives Mazak's customers in the Queretaro area and surrounding regions even more access to the technical, engineering and applications expertise they need to thrive and succeed," said Brian Papke, chairman of Mazak Corporation. "We continue to expand and strengthen our capabilities in Mexico - thanks to Preci - as well as throughout all of North America while other OEMs typically trim customer service, support and sales initiatives to keep overhead costs in check."

The Preci facility encompasses nearly 6,000 square feet, including training space and a 3,200-square-foot showroom that will house some of Mazak's most advanced multi- tasking, full 5-axis, horizontal and vertical machining systems. Six employees will provide technical and sales support to keep customers competitive and productive.
