HARDINGE OF CANADA ANNOUNCES THE GRAND OPENING of their new Canadian Technical Center in Mississauga, Ontario, on September 12, 2007. The festivities begin with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 9:30 a.m., followed by a full day of live machine demonstrations.
Founded in 1890 by two Canadian brothers (Franklin and Henry Hardinge), it appears that this machine tool and workholding powerhouse has come full circle. The 15,000ft2 Hardinge Canadian Technical Center, located at 7111 Kennedy Road in Mississauga, will support the full complement of Hardinge lathes, tur ning centers and workholding industrial products; Bridgeport mills, machining centers and grinding centers; Kellenberger cylindrical grinders; Hauser jig grinders; Tschudin production OD grinding systems; and Tripet production ID/OD grinding systems. Support will be dedicated to both pre- and postsales services and the facility will stock a full complement of machines, repair parts, collets, tooling and industrial products.
"It's our goal to be closer to this vital North American market to better partner with our neighbors to the north," states Doug Tifft, President of Hardinge of Canada. "This building and the team behind it represent Hardinge's long term commitment to manufacturers in Canada."
Founded more than 100 years ago, Hardinge is a global company providing turning, milling, grinding and workholding solutions to meet a wide array of market needs.
