Japanese machine manufacturer Mazak has added another large building to its Florence campus.
Their new 27,000 square foot SYNCREX Assembly Plant provides engineering, production and applications support for the company’s recently launched SYNCREX Series, which are machine tools designed for the precision production of small parts.
“While the building’s name is the SYNCREX Assembly Plant, a lot more than just assembly happens there,” said Kevin Sekerak, plant manager at Mazak. “Within the new building’s production flow, we’ve incorporated applications support, which is extremely critical for this particular type of machine.”
The SYNCREX Assembly Plant features overhead cranes and equipment for the employees to produce 16 different models within the SYNCREX Series for the North American market. Overall, the plant has an output capacity of 10 machines per month.
The company’s Kentucky-built products include their Ez Series of machines, SYNCREX spindles, headstocks and sheet metal. Their Florence factory produces over 100 models of turning centers, multi-tasking machines and vertical machining centers.
