Methods Machine Tools, Inc. is hosting a grand opening at its new Chicago Technical Center at 70 Prairie Parkway, Gilberts, IL. The open house is scheduled for August 26 and August 27 from 10 AM to 6 PM.
Methods' Chicago staff moved to the new technical center earlier this year to give Midwest customers faster installations, more capabilities and more responsive service calls.
"Now that the dust has settled on our move, we are excited to open up our doors and show the Midwest what we can do and our new capabilities," said Don Miller, General Manager of Methods' Chicago Technical Center. "We are excited to show everyone how our time-tested, industry-trusted knowledge can make machine shops more productive."
The grand opening will feature live CNC machine demonstrations to give visitors a broad but detailed overview of Methods' application engineering for turn-keys and world-class technology. The company will serve lunch and refreshments on both days.
"No matter what industry you support or the size of your shop, we will have something for you to sink your teeth into," said Zac Borost, Methods' Sales Manager for Illinois and Wisconsin.
Brands and machines featured during the grand opening include:
- Nakamura-Tome: SC 300II, WY-150, NTY3-150 and NTY3-250
- FANUC: six RoboDrills of various sizes, including the Plus-K automation cell, as well as the newest wire EDM machines, the a-CiC400 and a-CiC600
