Mazak Corporation, based in Florence, Kentucky, has expanded its service and support network for the Western United States with the opening of a new Phoenix technical center scheduled for later this year.

The facility, located at 2675 West Buckeye Rd. in Phoenix, will provide local manufacturers in all industries access to process and application engineering expertise, training and collaboration opportunities for new manufacturing solution development.

The technology center houses call centers, applications engineers and sales and service support personnel. It also provides space for customer programming classes, machine demonstrations, test cuts and machining system run-offs, as well as regularly scheduled Mazak DISCOVER events.

"Mazak continues to establish new facilities to further ensure customers receive the local service and support they need," said Dan Janka, president of Mazak Corporation. "For the Phoenix area, our new technical center will play a key role in that strategy and will center on the manufacturing needs of the area's key industrial sectors that include semiconductor, aerospace and defense, electronics and several others."

The new Phoenix technical center will be Mazak's sixth in North America.
