Spanish Lathe manufacturer CMZ has consolidated its presence in France following the acquisition of industrial premises in Haute-Savoie. After opening its subsidiary CMZ France 20 years ago in Isère, this new space will be used to provide direct technical support, delivery of parts and advice on applications for CNC lathes.
Part of CMZ’s international expansion strategy, the new technology centre will have a team of aftersales technicians to provide assistance in the area, as well as sales engineers who will offer direct advice for all customers. The facility will also house an applications engineering service and stock spare parts available on short lead times.
The facility’s permanent showroom for customers will display the full range of CMZ products and host technical workshops demonstrating the capacities of the lathes.
Benoit Branchu, a professional with a long career in the industrial sector will be heading the project. Throughout his career, Branchu has held a variety of posts which have given him in-depth knowledge on the use and operation of lathes, as well as a solid vision of the machining world. He did not hesitate to take up the lead in this new adventure in which Branchu is supported by a team of aftersales technicians for direct assistance.
Haute-Savoie is a strategic market for CMZ because the Arve Valley is recognised as the epicentre of precision turning in France and worldwide. The company has been operating in the area for just over a year and with this move is seeking to strengthen its presence with a strong, solid sales structure.
