Arthur Machinery-Florida recently attended the first dealer training session held in Hyundai WIA's new facility in Itasca, IL. The three-day event consisted of the dealer council meeting, dealer principles meeting and sales training. Representatives from FANUC USA, Renishaw and Seimens participated in the dealer training.
Hyundai WIA America moved its corporate facility to 265 Spring Lake Rd., Itasca, IL, to be more centrally located in the U.S. The building features offices, training rooms, showroom, parts storage and warehouse space. There were 20 CNC machines in the new showroom.
Dealers from the U.S., Canada, Mexico and South America were able to meet the Hyundai WIA staff as well as network with other dealers. Hyundai WIA is a major builder in South Korea and has a long history of building machine tools. Its products consist of vertical machining centers, horizontal machining centers, horizontal and vertical CNC lathes, high-speed drill/tap centers and multitasking machine tools.
Arthur was able to see the sales, marketing and service support systems that Hyundai WIA has implemented to support its North and South American customers. Product features and benefits were discussed as well as plans for making the products competitive and reliable.
