Changing Distributorship at GF Machining Solutions

GF Machining Solutions LLC (GFMS; Lincolnshire, IL) will expand their distribution channels and regional sales to further invest in their capability to deliver advanced manufacturing technology to customers throughout North America. Two distributors, Marcus Machinery (Gibsonia, PA) and Midwest Machinery Solutions (Round Lake Beach, IL) have expanded their reach to key manufacturing sectors in the United States, while GFMS has taken over direct sales in Canada with a new sales manager, Sean Smith.

Marcus Machinery, a distributor of European machine tools and automation systems, expanded their distribution from Western Pennsylvania to now include all of Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, DC and West Virginia. A specialist in supporting the work of research and development organizations and academic institutions in addition to traditional manufacturers, they are a family-owned business overseen by Mark A. Henne and his son, Nathan M. Henne, and his daughter, Shannon M. Anglero.

Midwest Machinery Solutions, formerly the exclusive distributor for GFMS for Northern Illinois, will now take over distribution across the entire state. From their headquarters in Round Lake Beach, they will provide manufacturers throughout the state with CNC and EDM machine technology, as well as System 3R Automation solutions, punch/die tooling systems, certified consumables, and original wear parts from AgieCharmilles.

GFMS will now directly oversee sales in Canada under the direction of Smith, their new sales manager who previously served as the product manager for GFMS at Machine Tool Systems Inc. (Mississauga, ON) and Elliott Matsuura (Oakville, ON). A former CNC machinist in the mold and die industry, he has spent nearly 20 years as a manufacturing distributor in Ontario.
