Italian CMM Manufacturer COORD3 Celebrates 40 Years in Business
The two-day celebration in May marked the achievement of over 5,000 CMMs sold since 1973 from the Bruzolo manufacturing facility in Italy, near Turin in the foothills of the Italian Alps.
Italian coordinate measuring machine manufacturer COORD3 (Wixom, MI) recently celebrated 40 years in business with a two-day program of activities for employees, customers and sales and manufacturers representatives from all over the world including; USA, Mexico, Germany, Austria, India, China, Czechoslovakia, Korea, and Israel.
Angelo Muscarella, the company’s chief executive officer and majority owner said, “This is an important milestone for COORD3. We have successfully developed the company forward in terms of sales growth and new product development since acquiring the business in 2010. The COORD3 brand is now reborn. We have steadily advanced our global position as one of the major suppliers of high-technology metrology equipment. This has been achieved through our very talented and hard working employees; new CMM designs and an expanded global distribution network that has brought our CMM product range to new markets.”
He added, “Our UNIVERSAL CMM launched last year with the world’s first wireless thermal compensation system and new subsidiaries in the USA and India are examples of the new COORD3 progress. We are very optimistic about COORD3’s future. We are one of the few CMM manufacturers supplying advanced alloy CMM structures giving us the ability to keep our manufacturing costs very close to those of China. If you combine our cost-effective CMM bridge and horizontal arm design technology with the world’s avowed best gantry CMM design, and the fact that we continue to be a major CMM structure source for other CMM manufacturers like Zeiss, Erowa and Nikon…we have a solid proven business strategy . . . and it’s working.”
