Haas Automation is celebrating building and supplying its 150,000th CNC machine tool: a DS-30SSY dual spindle turning centre with Y-axis. At a special handing-over ceremony to mark the occasion, Haas Automation Europe’s managing director Alain Reynvoet attended the Manufacturing and Automation Expo 2014, Stockholm, to meet the owners of Swedish company Claesson Engineering – a general, precision engineering business founded by three brothers, and to present them with a commemorative plate to mark the occasion of their purchase of this very special machine tool.
“Installation of the 150,000th machine is a signal event for Haas Automation,” said Reynvoet. “The fact that it has been bought by a European company – in the relatively high-cost region of Scandinavia, is further proof that our new generation of products, combining value, performance, reliability and support are the right ones for any market, however tough the trading conditions.”
“It’s a great honour for us to be part of these celebrations,” says Edströms company owner and CEO, Ola Andersson. “Claesson Engineering is a valued customer and has already invested in several Haas machine tools over the years, since it was founded in 2000. The celebration was a wonderful opportunity to recognise the achievements of all those involved. But, the truly important thing is that the Haas DS turning centre will give the customer many years of profitable, reliable service.”
