June 17, 2013

We would like to inform you that as of June 1, 2013, North Star Machinery (Kingwood, Texas) has halted its operations of distributing GF AgieCharmilles machine tools and consumables. As a valued customer, I would like to personally thank you for your business over the years.

Hartwig, Inc. is the new exclusive distributor for GF AgieCharmilles in Texas. I have joined forces with Hartwig and have accepted the position of EDM Technical Sales Engineer. In this new role, I will concentrate on selling and also supporting the Hartwig sales team for GF AgieCharmilles EDM machines.

Rest assured that you will still receive first-class quality, value, and support from me as well as Hartwig’s more than 160 employees. We will be successfully prepared to support your current and future requirements for sales, engineering, and consumable product support for not only GF AgieCharmilles equipment, but also OKUMA, Tsugami, Hardinge, Bridgeport, Kellenberger, Tschudin, Hauser, Okamoto, SNK, Hexagon Metrology and Kira lines.

I look forward to continuing our relationship in this new venture at Hartwig.
