Haas Automation product story

Three years after opening its Asian operations in China, US machine tool builder, Haas Automation, Has opened offices and a showroom in Shangahi.
Haas Automation Asia is pleased to announce the official opening of its brand-new, 6714m2 China Headquarters and showroom in Shanghai.
The move comes just three years after the company first opened its Asian operations in the city's Free Trade Zone.
In that time, Haas' business in China has increased dramatically, and the company has out-grown its original location.
As well as providing vital additional office space, the new building incorporates a 625-square-meter showroom, allowing some 20 Haas machines from the company's extensive and growing range of affordable CNC machine tools to be exhibited and demonstrated simultaneously.
Also part of the facility is a 3000m2 warehouse for maintaining a stock of 200 new machines, allowing delivery to almost anywhere in China within five days of receiving an order.
According to Haas Asia managing director Fischer Mou, the relocation marks an important milestone for the company.
"Since establishing Haas Asia, we've exceeded our annual sales targets in all of the key China markets.
In the past year alone, we've experienced a sales increase of more than 30%.
This is in line with the growth Haas has enjoyed in other markets around the world, and reflects the universal appeal of low-cost, high-quality CNC machines." The new headquarters includes a massive (560m2) and comprehensive spare parts warehouse run by factory-certified support personnel, which will provide same-day dispatch for more than 90% of requisitions, and dispatch 100% of requisitions within 24h.
The new facility also includes a modern, fully equipped training area, with three classrooms and a 144-square-meter Technical Education Center, where Haas personnel will instruct HFO service engineers and customers from all over the China.
Five Haas Factory Outlets currently are in operation in China, with locations in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenyang, Qingdao and Chongqing.
An additional seven HFOs are scheduled to open throughout the country by year's end, further expanding Haas Automation's already substantial customer-support network in China.
"As both our Chinese customer base and our distributor network increase, we intend to offer the best service and support in the industry," added Mou.
"Our investment in the new office, showroom and parts warehouse will help ensure that we do just that.".
