Charlotte, N.C.-based Okuma America Corp.‘s newly-expanded warehouse increases the company's capacity for mechanical repair and exchange service, providing faster spindle and cam box replacement service, according to the company.
"The expansion gives us better control of inventory accuracy and expedited shipping of parts," said Mike Vassil, senior manager, service parts. "By streamlining storage and maximizing space in our CNC and Mechanical Exchange departments, we will be able to increase mechanical exchange capabilities to efficiently service more spindle and cam box repairs in our Charlotte office."
The expansion increases mechanical exchange capabilities by 30 percent, allowing for extra inventory, staff and run test equipment. An additional expansion of Okuma's mechanical repair and exchange services space is underway and is expected to be completed before 2016.
