Okuma Offers Free Use of Machine Tool for Two Years

Oct. 30, 2009
Contest entries posted online through December 7

A contest staged by Okuma America Corp. will provide one machine shop with free use of an Okuma machine tool for two years.

“All manufacturers face challenges, especially during difficult economic times. Shops struggle with reducing costs, increasing spindle utilization and improving quality. We feel Okuma, along with our partners, offers the best control and machine tool technology and solutions available,” explained Okuma America president and COO Larry Schwartz. “We also realize that new machines might not be in the budgets at this time for some shops. So we’re offering them a way to make their case to get the best technology now.”

Okuma America is the U.S. affiliate of Okuma Corporation, a developer of CNC and machining technology.

Entries to the Real Help Machine Giveaway contest will be accepted until 8:00 a.m., December 7, 2009.

Manufacturers and their employees may submit a video or essay detailing how an Okuma machine may help their business. Visit http://oac.okuma.com/giveaway for contest rules and entry guidelines.

Entries will be posted online. Every entry will receive a prize and weekly winners will be selected randomly from all entries received.

Five finalists will be selected on December 8 and the Grand Prize Winner will be selected on December 11. The grand prize machine will be selected from a select list of machines with the actual machine selection chosen to best support the winner’s business.
