Grand opening of new US headquarters
Synova, inventor of laser microjet cutting, has opened its new 6,100 square foot, state-of-the-art facility in Totowa, New Jersey.
The new US technology center will support operations throughout North and South America with the latest Synova CNC machines incorporating its advanced water jet laser cutting technology.
“Coming on the heels of record-setting sales in 2021, our new facility will play a pivotal role in 2022 and beyond, providing greater flexibility in demonstrating micro-machining technology to customers involved in the semiconductor industry, high-accuracy medical machining, diamond toolmaking, diamond manufacturing and aeroengine parts manufacturing,” says Jacques Coderre, US business manager.
“Our new micromachining center (MMC) is not only a place to showcase our equipment, it’s also a research and development center where our customers can collaborate with Synova engineers to demonstrate laser cutting technology,” says Dr Bernold Richerzhagen, Synova founder and CEO. The new facility will feature both 5-axis and 3-axis systems that will be used for machine demos, application development work, customer training and contract machining.
