C.R. Onsrud Inc., Troutman, North Carolina, a U.S. manufacturer of CNC machinery, is hosting its annual Demo Day on March 25, 2026 from 8:30AM to 2:00PM at its factory (117 Technology Drive). Having opened its doors 50 years ago, the company is also looking forward to celebrating this golden milestone with attendees.

Onsrud’s Demo Day is a networking opportunity to keep manufacturers connected as they share ideas and discover new technologies.

“Adding the 83,000ft2 expansion last year has really helped the event grow,” said Jeff Onsrud, director of Sales & Business Development. “We are very excited to welcome more manufacturers, bring in more vendors, and expand our offerings.”

In addition to live demonstrations of 3- and 5-axis machines, attendees will have the opportunity to talk to vendors representing CAD/CAM software, automation, CNC tooling, vacuum pumps, and other CNC-related technologies as well as attend educational seminars.

“Essentially this is a mini-tradeshow. Anything and everything related to the CNC world will be at C.R. Onsrud. It’s a great way to learn something new, even if you have owned a CNC router for decades,” said Thomas Tuck, senior manager of Regional Sales and Marketing Initiatives.

“Looking at the size of the campus and our machines, it’s hard to believe that 50 years ago this all started with the invention of a small pin router,” Onsrud said. The company still sells a few Inverted Routers, but it shifted in the 1990s to manufacturing CNC machines. At the upcoming factory event, the Inverted Router will be demoed live, and Onsrud’s first CNC machine sold will be on display celebrating its 30th year: a still-operational twin-table C-Series.

“While our focus will be on the latest CNC technologies and modern manufacturing best practices, it’s nice on our 50th anniversary to give a nod to the past,” Onsrud said.

This event is free, but attendees must register in advance. Visit https://info.cronsrud.com/register-as-a-customer-for-demo-day to register and for more details.
