February 1, 2025
Kenton County Judge Executive Kris Knochelmann presents Dan Janka, President of Mazak Corporation, with the proclamation that declares October 31 as Mazak Corporation's 50th Anniversary Celebration Day.
The Kenton County Fiscal Court of Kentucky declared October 31, 2024, as Mazak Corporation's 50th Anniversary Celebration Day in recognition of the advanced machine tool manufacturer's half century of influence and innovation in northern Kentucky. During those years in Florence, KY, the Mazak iSMART Factory has expanded to 20x its original size. The facility currently produces more than 70 machining solutions with a local workforce that exceeds 600 employees.
"We are honored to make our corporate home here in Kentucky and to participate in the economic vitality of the state," said Dan Janka, President of Mazak Corporation. "This proclamation reinforces our enduring commitment to the manufacturing industry and our focus on sustained growth."
"Throughout the 50 years since Mazak Corporation opened its Kentucky facility in 1974, the company has honored the vision of the late Teruyuki (Terry) Yamazaki, founder of Mazak and former chairman of Yamazaki Mazak Corporation," said a company spokesperson. "Yamazaki emphasized staying ahead of technology while remaining close to the manufacturing industry and its customers. The company is honored that this proclamation reflects its global and local commitment to innovation and progress."
