In today's world of manufacturing, establishing a niche and maximizing processes are invaluable advantages. Having the right equipment to do so, is a challenge Owen's Industries tackled head on-most recently purchasing two additional HERMLE Performance Line C 400 milling machines.
The recent purchases are the third and fourth C 400 machines Owens acquired within the last two years, which brings its total HERMLE investment to eight machines.
Owens began operations in 1944. Since the 1980s, the company, located in Oak Creek, WI, has provided CNC precision machining services, producing custom parts of any complexity.
Offering customers ultra-high-end machining services, the company looked to HERMLE for what Owens' Vice President Mark Plesnik said is an investment in the best equipment possible: "Looking at HERMLE, doing some research on it, talking to some other people-it became very obvious to me that is was one of the best machines out there," said Plesnik.
According to Plesnik, Owens serves primarily the aerospace industry, along with defense, medical, commercial, high-end analytical equipment, energy and others. As components evolved into smaller and more intricate sizes, Owens utilized the HERMLE machines to continue stepping up and exceeding customer expectations.
HERMLE USA's Regional Sales Manager, Cullen Morrison, said Owens is a perfect fit for HERMLE machines because of the demand for high precision and tight tolerances: "The continued investment in HERMLE machines is really going to help keep them at the top," said Morrison. "The HERMLE is just a really good fit for what they do, and Owens is a really good fit for the machines."
All HERMLE machines are designed and manufactured at the global headquarters in Gosheim, Germany, and then shipped to customers throughout the world.
Plesnik revisited the progression of HERMLE investments, mentioning the continued advancements of rigidity and capabilities to hold the tightest tolerances on a wide variety of materials-including titanium, high nickel alloy and aluminum. In addition to the high quality of the machines, Plesnik noted the high level of service HERMLE provides, especially for maintenance and repairs. He also noted of the C 400, "As a simultaneous 5-axis center, it is very low maintenance."
