Murata Machinery Appoints Methods & Equipment Associates for MI

Murata Machinery USA (Muratec), Machine Tools Division announced a transition of dealer representation for the Michigan region. Network Machinery, Inc., a prominent Midwest turning machinery dealer for Muratec, has transferred full responsibilities for the Michigan region to Methods & Equipment Associates, a machine tool distributor based in Livonia, MI.

Since 1998, Network Machinery has provided a comprehensive range of CNC machinery, including CNC lathes, machining centers and grinders to the Michigan region. "Beginning in 1999, Network Machinery was the sole provider of the Muratec Turning Machine product in this region and has become a trusted name known for its unwavering commitment to excellence and precision," said a spokesperson.

"We deeply appreciate the long-lasting partnership that has been built with Garry and Network Machinery," said Jeff Kalmbach, General Manager of the Machine Tools Division at Murata Machinery. "Their reputation and legacy will remain. We are thrilled to welcome Methods & Equipment Associates as a valued dealer partner to serve our customers with innovative solutions. We cannot say enough about the professionalism both sides have shown during this transition period. I am confident that as a result, our response and support to customers in the Michigan region will be seamless."

This transition signifies the end of a 24-year collaboration and the dawn of an exciting partnership. "For two decades, the alliance between Muratec and Network Machinery has symbolized excellence in automated turning machinery solutions forged on trust, dedication and unwavering commitment," said the spokesperson.

Garry Sredzinski, President of Network Machinery, Inc., said: "For 24 years, our principal product line has been with Muratec, focusing on automated turning machine solutions for our customers. Our partnership with Muratec has been nothing short of extraordinary, and we will always be grateful for the trust the Murata family has placed in Network Machinery through these years. As we transition, we ensure continuity as committed partners, upholding the outstanding service our customers have come to expect."

Methods & Equipment Associates, serving Michigan manufacturers in the metalcutting industry since 1962, specializes in offering fine quality, high precision machine tools. Their expertise extends to distributing metalcutting machinery to industries such as automotive, aerospace, truck and off-road, die/mold, toolroom, and low or high-volume production environments. Methods & Equipment Associates distributes state-of-the-art CNC machinery in Michigan and northern Ohio.

"We are honored to be chosen as partners by Muratec and are dedicated to upholding the longstanding reputation for exceptional quality and support that Network Machinery has built across this region," said Matt Valkner, Vice President of Methods & Equipment Associates. "Our commitment extends beyond machinery. We eagerly anticipate engaging with current and new customers, collaborating to formulate innovative automated solutions that drive optimum productivity."

Network Machinery has worked closely with Methods & Equipment Associates during the transition to ensure a seamless process. Network Machinery remains accessible to ensure customers continue to receive the high-quality service they expect.
