Machine Tool Builders Inc. (MTB) of Machesney Park, Illinois, and Hans Grass, president of G-Technologies, recently announced the transfer of G-Technologies North American representation agreement for Hamai Machines to Machine Tool Builders Inc. Following the appointment of Hans Grass as CEO of Machine Tool Builders Inc., MTB has assumed the exclusive rights as North American distributor of Hamai’s hobbing solutions line.
Established in 1921, Hamai Co., LTD., Tokyo, Japan, designs, manufactures, and services state-of-the-art N-series CNC horizontal hobbing machines and a GN150 hob sharpener. Having built a solid reputation in the small/medium gear manufacturing industries by supplying fine to medium pitch horizontal hobbing machines for nearly 100 years, Hamai has also earned a solid reputation for its high accuracy, impeccable quality, and highly productive machine tools.
This was an ideal fit for Machine Tool Builders Inc., which was looking to expand its new product offerings. It was pleased Grass and G-technologies allowed it to take on the rights to this line. The transfer of this agreement appoints Machine Tool Builders (MTB) as the exclusive sales, marketing, and support arm for all Hamai’s gear hobbing solutions in North America.
When Grass was appointed CEO of Machine Tool Builders Inc. (MTB), he brought with him more than 40 years of expertise in the machine tool industry. His company also held an exclusive representation agreement for North America representing Hamai.
“We are delighted to bring the Hamai line to MTB and offer comprehensive gear manufacturing solutions to our customers,” said Grass, president of G-Technologies and CEO of Machine Tool Builders Inc. “MTB’s representation agreement with Hamai is a perfect fit; this partnership will allow us to further improve our rapidly growing position in the market by offering high-value products and services that meet our customers’ ever-changing needs.”
MTB issued a statement which read, “We thank Hans Grass and G-technologies for laying the groundwork of Hamai’s presence in North America. This provides our customers with another world-class product backed by the MTB name.”
