“As a part of our ongoing commitment to serving customers in North America, I’m proud to announce Intermaq as our new dealer partner in the Mexican market," said Markus Stolmar, President and CEO of UNITED GRINDING North America. "Intermaq has a stellar track record and reputation in Mexico as a trusted, reliable, and knowledgeable partner to many, many manufacturers. With our base of Mexican operations in Querétaro, Managing Director German Gordillo and his team embedded in the market, and our new partners Intermaq, I am optimistic that we’ll be able to bring our world-class technology to more manufacturers than ever before.”

Gordillo has been a strong advocate of the alliance. “Intermaq is the perfect partner for UNITED GRINDING in Mexico," he said. "Their knowledge of the industry in each region is unmatched, and our teams are already working together to bring our technology to manufacturers who require maximum precision. I am confident with Intermaq and UNITED GRINDING working together, we’ll be able to elevate precision grinding to new heights in Mexico.”

Juan Oetling, CEO of Intermaq, is equally enthusiastic about the potential of the new collaboration.

"We’ll be working closely with German and the UNITED GRINDING Mexico team in Querétaro to train our staff on the latest advancements in grinding technology. We will then provide demonstrations in showrooms located in strategic cities throughout the country, including Mexico City, Monterrey, León, San Luis Potosí and Puebla.

UNITED GRINDING North America also announced that distribution associate Methods Machine Tools will now offer their services to two new states in the USA.

“Methods Machine Tools has been our dealer partner for some time in portions of the Southeastern territory, and has found great success selling our equipment on incredible projects," said Stolmar. "Because of our successful partnership, the decision was made to offer Methods an expanded territory and award Florida and Michigan to their dealership. I’m excited to see Methods Machine Tool find the same level of success in their new territory as they have in the Southeast.
