GF AgieCharmilles Adds New Distributor

GF AgieCharmilles (Lincolnshire, IL) has selected G-Tech CNC Solutions as a new distributor for the company's industry-leading lines of high speed milling and wire and diesinking EDM machines. G-Tech will replace Flint Machine Tools as the company's distributor in states of Georgia and Alabama, as well as the Florida Panhandle.

G-Tech is owned and operated by David Carrizales, a 28-year veteran of the manufacturing industry. Already well-versed in GF AgieCharmilles' extensive range of products, Mr. Carrizales advises that his company's focus is solely on the customer: "We will be selling solutions, not just machine tools." Before starting G-Tech, Mr. Carrizales served as a partner of CAT I Manufacturing in Illinois. He has sold technical customer solutions for the last 18 years.

Additionally, the Open House held technical seminars dealing with cutting tools, CAD/CAM and workholding technology. A social event was held that evening in appreciation of customers.

The company also recently added RSS feeds to its corporate website, www.gfac.com/us. The feeds provide customers with new headlines on the company's participation at IMTS, its latest products, services and promotions.
