Mazak Announces Partnership with Parlec

Florence, KY, October 15, 2009 – Mazak Corporation has announced a new partnership with Parlec Inc, a leading manufacturer of tooling and toolholding, workholding, presetting and other metalworking products. Parlec’s headquarters are located in Fairport, New York.

Through Mazak’s expertise in automation and broad range of multi-tasking machines, Parlec will improve the cost effectiveness and throughput of its manufacturing operations. The company views investment in advanced manufacturing technology as a means to strengthen its competitive position in the market, with a focus on providing innovative products and better service to its customers. In spite of the slow economy, Parlec has proceeded with its investment plan and ordered its first Mazak Multi-Tasking machining center, an INTEGREX 300-IV ST.

“As a global provider of manufacturing solutions, we find that our values are very much inline with those of Mazak,” says Michael Nuccitelli, Chairman and CEO of Parlec. “Through Done-In-One machining and Production on Demand, their company integrates the very solutions they provide. We’re looking forward to a long and prosperous partnership.”

The INTEGREX 300-IV ST is equipped with a gantry loader system to run unattended multi-tasking, Done-in-One production. Mazak will provide turnkey solutions, including training and application support, enabling Parlec to maximize the advantages of automation and processing on the multi-tasking machine. Prior to the investment in the IINTEGREX 300-IV ST, Parlec has integrated a Mazak Palletec Manufactruing Cell with an HCN-500II Horizontal Machining Center, allowing reductions in setup time and increased spindle utilization.”

“We’re very excited to be working with Parlec,” says Brian Papke, President of Mazak Corporation. “Whenever we see a manufacturer eager to keep their processes at the cutting edge of innovation, with a vital strategic plan for its business, that’s a company we get excited about partnering with. That mentality is a perfect fit for our concept of using Technology Centers to help customers implement technology solutions successfully.“
