At an Open House event May 17-19, 2017, Haimer USA will celebrate its 15th and Haimer’s 40th anniversaries. The three-day event will be held at the company’s North American headquarters in Villa Park, Illinois. The event will feature the company’s new presetting technology with on-site machine demos and presentation from guest speakers, with food and drink for attendees.
The event takes advantage of the company’s investments into expanding the 25,000-square-foot headquarters. The facility includes advanced training facilities and showroom; a spacious reception area, lounge and 25-foot bar with German beer on tap; and a variety of equipment, including Haimer’s Microset tool presetting machines, shrink and balancing machines in every room, and a new high-speed three-axis VMC.
