New organization to offer comprehensive aftermarket support, contract maintenance, productivity enhancements, and machine life-cycle services via new global hubs
Chicago, IL, September 6, 2006 - Maintenance Technologies announced that it has expanded both its brand coverage and comprehensive portfolio of products and services to be a single-source for aftermarket support and maintenance services for all of the equipment manufacturers included under parent company, MAG-IAS, as well as for equipment produced by other unrelated companies. Maintenance Technologies is built on a core of capabilities, procedures and technologies pioneered by Cincinnati PLUS, an organization that offered the industry's most comprehensive service and support prior to its incorporation into Maintenance Technologies.
"Maintenance Technologies is about much more than simple maintenance," explained Bill Horwarth, President of Maintenance Technologies. "Our focus is on minimizing the total cost of ownership, and that includes everything from helping customers select the right cutting tools, to supplying advanced factory optimization software solutions and sensory technologies.
"We also have complete rebuilding, remanufacturing, and retrofitting capability to extend the life of virtually any of the machine tools we cover," Horwarth continued. "Maintenance Technologies delivers services and solutions that relieve managers from the burden of equipment maintenance, while at the same time improving the productivity and utilization of these vital, capital assets."
Maintenance Technologies will support all existing MAG-IAS brands, including:
o Cincinnati Machine
o Giddings & Lewis Machine Tools

o Cincinnati Machine Limited
o Cross Hüller
o Ex-Cell-O

Globally, their parts and service hubs stock $44 million of dedicated inventory comprised of over 1 million part numbers to promptly support the machine tool brands their customers know and trust.
