JTEKT Toyoda Americas, YG-1 Tool partner for Charlotte Tech Center

Global machine tool builder JTEKT Toyoda Americas has opened its Charlotte, North Carolina Technical Center in collaboration with YG-1 Tool Co. of Vernon Hills, Illinois, a supplier of high-quality cutting tools for more than 20 years.

Located 20 minutes from Uptown Charlotte, the showroom features a variety of machines from Toyoda’s product lineup while serving as an extension of Toyoda's efforts to deliver more accessible training and support to better serve customers’ needs.

Visitors can catch a look at the tech center’s four machines: FH500J horizontal machining center, Stealth 1165 vertical machining center, GL4-i cylindrical grinding machine – and recent additions to the Toyoda lineup – Takisawa Taiwan’s LA250YS Turning Center. The new showroom will enable local customers to see these machines first-hand and experience the power, quality, and speed indicative of a Toyoda product.

"With an ever-growing manufacturing market in the southeast, we're very excited to open a regional facility in North Carolina to supplement the support of local customers," says Regional Manager Joe Dobek. "This technical center will allow current and new customers the ability to see the strength and long-lasting build of a Toyoda machine first-hand. Our job is to ensure that our customers have the best tools to strengthen and grow their business – setting them ahead of their competition. Opening this tech center is just one more step to ensuring that we’re doing just that."

Tours are available by appointment. To stop by, visit http://blog.toyoda.com/yg1techcenter.
