Cincinnati Machine gets new home, new name

The new MAG Industrial Automation Systems facility at Fort Dunlop not only provides a new permanent headquarters for MAG Cincinnati – formerly Cincinnati Machine – it also creates for the first time a single, focused UK centre for the MAG IAS group. As well as MAG Cincinnati, Fort Dunlop will also be home to MAG Powertrain (Cross Hüller, Ex-Cell-O and Lamb)and the cross-group support business MAG Maintenance Technologies. It will provide sales and administrative support to all MAG IAS companies. The MAG Cincinnati UK design and development centre at Fort Dunlop will be supported from a newly refurbished facility at MAG Cincinnati’s former headquarters in Kingsbury Road and continue to work on the CFV and FTV programmes as well as developing new machines for UK and global markets. The first of these new machines, a small vertical machining centre, will be showcased at the EMO 2007 where MAG IAS will have a 3,600 m2 stand featuring products from 13 group companies (see page 18). Kingsbury Road will also host the MAG IAS UK technical centre, which will act as a showroom for its product range and a demonstration facility. It will also be the site of the service parts warehouse and a workshop facility for machine rebuilds and refurbishment.
