Advantage Machine Tool, a company based in Ontario, Canada has experienced a boom in business over the last five years. In fact, calling it a "boom" probably doesn't do it justice.
According to Adam Zurbrigg, Advantage's General Manager, in just over five years the company has grown from 20 full-time employees to 60. Sales have increased over 87%. In fact, the company was named one of Canada's fastest-growing companies by PROFIT and Canadian Resources in 2017.

"Since we touch on several markets and go from high-production to job shop on a daily basis, we rarely see lulls—there's always a wave of jobs coming over us."
-ADAM ZURBRIGG
In manufacturing, exponential growth means constantly updating your processes, and strategically adding machining centers to keep up with demand. Advantage currently has eight Okuma machines, and—with a huge helping hand from his local Okuma distributor, EMEC Machine Tools, Inc.—Adam was able to easily determine which machines would best fit the company's needs, taking into account the specific parts they're making, the level of precision needed, and the overall cost.

"Our Okuma machines can definitely assist with overall efficiencies and competitiveness since we're often running lights-out and need to spread our labor out over several machines."
-ADAM ZURBRIGG
Of course, to keep a burgeoning business running smoothly, technical support and preventive maintenance are also crucial aspects for any operation. While we can help customers find the best machine fit, after a purchase we believe it's also our job to ensure those machines experience as little downtime as possible. Just ask Adam Zurrbrigg.

"EMEC Machine Tools and Okuma came in and gave us diagnoses on the health of our high-volume machines, and then provided us with a service report on what they needed."
