KGKI and Okuma America Announce Consolidation of Dealer Network
Deerfield, IL (For Immediate Release) - KGK International, the exclusive
North American importer of Okuma Machine Tools equipped with FANUC
controls, has announced plans to utilize the existing Okuma America dealer
network for all machine sales.
According to Andy Toyota, President and National Sales Manager of KGK
International, "This represents the next step in the consolidation that began last
year with the merger of Okuma & Howa and Okuma. We have advised our
dealer network and expect that the realignment will be completed by late
summer.
While we are happy to welcome the Okuma America dealer network to our
corporate family, I would also say that we are exceptionally proud of the excellent
work accomplished by our previous dealers. This change represents a
necessary management decision and in no way reflects on their skill and
competence."
It was also announced that KGK International will now represent the entire line of
Okuma machines and that all KGKI Okuma products will be equipped with
FANUC controls. Okuma America will continue to sell Okuma machines
equipped with the THINC-OSP control.
