Our global supply chain, manufacturing and distribution capabilities allow us to engineer, build and ship our products to customers with a short lead-time and at a lower cost. Characteristics of our supply chain model allows us to navigate through the cyclical attributes of the machine tool industry while maintaining our ability to create and bring new products to the market while our competitors’ technologies remain stagnate. We have the ability to track all global customer installations and monitor product performance, which enables us to continually implement timely and effective improvement programs, increasing our product reliability and customer satisfaction.
A Global Presence with Multinational Markets

Because of our successful and effective supply chain, we can consistently provide the same quality machine and control systems at all locations that are compatible with localized market demand. The machine tool market has changed significantly over the past 10 years. Currently, 80% of worldwide machine tool consumption is outside of the United States. Hurco’s selling organizations are strategically positioned to provide full service to customers within their specific markets. Each of our selling companies have resident General Managers and staff who are positioned to work closely with Hurco customers to understand their application requirements. We’re strategically planning to grow in each of these emerging markets.

Helping Customers Compete in a Global Market

Our customers have historically provided components and services within the automotive, aerospace, medical equipment, energy, injection tool and molding, transportation and computer equipment industries. Recent global pressures have dramatically impacted these traditional markets. Hurco is responding to our customers’ need to compete in a true global market because their success depends on their ability to quickly adapt to new environments. In such a dynamic and shifting industry, diversity and flexibility are critical elements for our customers to provide value added machining services to their customers. 
Our control, software and machining systems provides customers with these attributes which help them operate at maximum levels of efficiency without adding overhead and other non-value added expenses.
We provide customers the ability to eliminate process steps leading to, and during the machining process. Our control, software and machine design are driven by our customers’ success under the highest competitive positions. We will continue to work with customers to identify even greater process efficiencies, understanding that our success is dependent upon our customers’ success.
