Methods Machine Tools and OKK have reached an agreement that formalizes Methods as OKK’s single partner to represent their CNC machines throughout North America. Methods, which began selling OKK in the U.S. in 2019, recently expanded its coverage of OKK into the U.S. Southeast and Wisconsin, which reportedly grants the company direct and indirect coverage for sales, services and support throughout its North America network.
OKK’s portfolio features leading five-axis, horizontal and vertical machining centers designed with superior levels of rigidity for heavy-duty cutting and large workpiece capacity that is said to deliver the most precise results across industry-vertical applications.
“When we first added OKK to our portfolio back in 2019, we knew we gained a world-class product that stands up against any machining center in the industry,” Dale Hedberg, COO of Methods Machine Tools, says. “By expanding to nationwide coverage, we can now scale the product line to new and repeat customers in automotive, agriculture, aerospace, die/mold and beyond who turn to OKK for the power, precision and reliability to achieve their desired production results.”
“Customers rely on horizontal OKKs for their reliability, longevity and their ability to save time and maintain accuracy through roughing and finishing on the same platform,” Bernie Otto, Methods’ product manager for OKK, adds.
The size and scope of OKK machines run from smaller footprint machines like the vertical machining center VM series which Methods’ customers have reportedly deployed for die/mold production, to the larger HM Series commonly found in Tier 1 aerospace production.
