Since the recent closure of the Ingersoll Milling Machine Company, Machine Tool Builders has been aggressively pursuing the company’s former employees and resources. As a result, the company has secured a number of key individuals in numerous locations around the country in order to assist former Ingersoll customers.
The launch of the Special Machine Division of Machine Tool Builders for servicing Ingersoll machines is currently ongoing and will take several months to complete. This new organization will eventually employ many of the former Ingersoll engineers, technicians, and service personnel. During the formation period, the company is accepting service, retrofit, and repair requests from customers with projects that were ongoing, scheduled, or quoted.
All questions can now be placed through Machine Tool Builders by contacting Steve Birchall at the number listed below. With 28 years at Ingersoll, he was formerly head of the technical support group, and is intimately familiar with many of the projects, both current and past. David Livingston has also joined. With 28 years at Ingersoll, he is the regional service representative in the Detroit area. In addition, Scott Weiss has 15 years of experience, and is located in the Seattle area to continue servicing the West Coast and The Boeing Company. Todd Whiteman, former controls group manager, spent 15 years with Ingersoll, and has joined along with Robin Newgard, the former systems engineering supervisor, who spent 25 years at Ingersoll. Don Ross, who specializes in mechanical and spindle unit repair, spent 24 years at that company.
