OPEN MIND Technologies Inc. USA on the Road to Success


The US subsidiary of German-based OPEN MIND Technologies AG provides services to the North and South American metal processing industries. With the help of its CAM software hyperMILL®, OPEN MIND Technologies USA currently achieves a sales growth of 30 percent per year.

In 2004, Alan Levine took over management of the OPEN MIND subsidiary for North and South America that has been in operation since 1996. The job matched his experience in high-end applications and strong customer service with the exceptional performance of hyperMILL's 2D, 3D and 5-axis modules and a clear growth potential in the American markets. The progressive technology includes feature recognition (production information), complete collision control and avoidance, as well as special cycles for manufacturing milling tubes, single-blades, impellers and blisks.

Recent successes have proven him right. Business has been systematically expanded over the last few years including a strengthening of the flagship Livonia MI office, and the opening of offices near Boston, Rockford IL and Los Angeles. Today, hyperMILL applications are used in the production of impellers, in the manufacturing of structural parts for the aerospace industry, for rock bit applications, checking gauge tooling as well as in the production of other complex and high precision components.

The team has recently been enlarged with the aim of catering better to customer requirements and working more closely with machine manufacturers and dealers. Most recently, Jerry Whelan joined the team in Los Angeles as an application technology expert. He will be applying his significant manufacturing and software expertise for the turbomachinery, aerospace, and other markets in this region.
