Burlington, Ontario, Canada-based engraving and cutting systems makerAXYZ announces the opening of its newest office in Tampa, Florida.

Tampa was picked as the location because it’s a convenient base through which to serve the whole state, the company says. The location will house sales, customer service and field technicians.

“Our philosophy of ‘fast, flexible and direct’ drives our desire to be in close contact with our customers to help them achieve outstanding productivity gains with their equipment purchases,” says John Donaldson, new business development manager at AXYZ.

At the new office, customers can see several of the newest AXYZ machines and technologies, watch a demonstration of a machine for their specific routing or knife cutting application and meet with their local sales representative. In addition, the Tampa office will provide local customer support and onsite service calls from a local field technician.

The Tampa office is located at 1911 North U.S. Highway 301, Building B-2, Suite 200, Tampa, 33619, and is open 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For questions or to schedule an appointment, call 800-361-3408 ext. 281.

Appointments for machine demonstrations can be scheduled in advance or take place during semi-annual open houses. The first open house for this office will be Wednesday and Thursday, May 18 and 19. There will be free workshops on the Trident Routing/Knife Cutting System, PanelBuilder 16 software and CNC router basic maintenance. Attendees can learn practical tips for specific routing and knife cutting applications. To attend the open house send an email to openhouse@axyz.com.

This is the company’s fourth U.S. office. The others are in Atlanta, Cincinnati and Los Angeles.
