Protek Becomes New Distributor for Milltronics

Milltronics USA, Inc. (Waconia, MN) named Protek CNC Sales Corporation (Simi Valley, CA) as their new exclusive distributor for Southern California and Southern Nevada for new machine sales, factory certified service, parts, applications and training support. “We’re very excited to be partnering with them,” said Angelo Ariondo, the president of Protek. “They specialize in machines for job shops, tool, die and mold, toolrooms and R&D labs, and they make a very powerful and intuitive conversational PC based controller. It’s what they’re known for – the control is very user-friendly and can be programmed either conversationally, with G-code or toolpaths from a CAM system, whatever is the most efficient way to make the part.”

Founded in 1998 by Ariondo, Protek has sold thousands of CNC machine tools throughout their history, with proven success throughout the Southern California region. They offer extensive applications support, having been a GibbsCAM partner for more than 20 years. Based in Simi Valley, they have a modern showroom where customers can see Milltronics machines in action.

“When we look for a new distributor of course we’re looking for someone who can be successful selling our products,” said Bill Bender, the national sales manager for Milltronics. “But just as important is a distributor that’s going to support the customer. It’s an old adage in this industry, but the saying is that ‘sales sells the first machine, but service sells the second and third, etc.’ It’s true, and we’re confident that, with Protek, we’ve now got a partner that’s going to partner not just with us, but with the customer as well.”
