Tom Thomas - DGM, Mahindra & Mahindra along with Mr. Gune - CEO, Nashik Engineering Cluster inaugurated the new Haas Factory Outlet at NEC on October 15, 2015. Facility tours and live cutting demonstrations were among the highlights of a highly successful event which witnessed over 500 visitors in three days.
Terrence Miranda, Managing Director - Haas Factory Outlet Mumbai stated: "An HFO at Nashik was long awaited and we are happy that we will also be engaging in skill development for the people of Nashik in partnership with NEC. We would like to develop an even stronger and more widespread HFO network in India and set it up in all key industrial cities. We do not want our customers to travel more than 100 km to find an HFO. The main idea of an overseas company to have HFOs in India is to present a localized approach.''
"I am happy to see that 55% of our attendees were newcomers and a 20% increase in visitors YoY. It highlights the growing importance that this high tech, engineering-driven city gives to adopting the latest CNC technology'' says Ram Kripal Yadav - GM, CNC Servicing & Solutions (I) Pvt. Ltd.
Nashik is a rapidly expanding industrial hub located around 100 miles northeast of Mumbai. Sectors like Precision engineering, Electrical engineering, Forging, Automobile, Aerospace engineering, General engineering, and Export oriented units are well represented in the area.
In addition to VF-2YT & ST-10, visitors were amazed to see ST-10Y too for the DEMO. Like all Haas CNC machines, the VF-2YT, ST-10 and the ST-10Y are built at the company's one and only factory in California, US. Haas Factory Outlet has a network of local HFOs in India that support all Haas products, each one employing factory-trained engineers and stocking official Haas spare parts.
