AXYZ International’s UK-based vice president of market development, Robert Marshall, also provided comment on the news: “Contingent upon the materials to be processed, waterjet cutting technology can provide a more appropriate solution to CNC routing and cutting technology.
“The availability of the two complementary technologies from a single manufacturing and supply source will greatly enhance the capabilities and global reach of both companies and lead to increased mutual growth, enhanced manufacturing capabilities and commensurate profitability.”
He concludes: “The plan to start promoting the waterjet cutting machines through our global network, including the primary European outlet in the UK, will be phased in gradually.”
