Hunter to represent Maus in U.S., Canada and Australia for grinding machine sales and service
As announced at CastExpo 2010, just concluded in Orlando, Florida this week, Maus SpA (Padua, Italy) has signed an agreement with Hunter Automated Machinery Corporation (Schaumburg, Illinois) to represent the Maus line of grinding machines and related equipment to the foundry markets in the U.S., Canada and Australia, effective immediately.
This announcement was made by Maus CEO, Roberto Sammartin, and Hunter President, Bill Hunter.
Maus is a major supplier to the world foundry market of surface grinding and riser cutoff machinery, as well as automated work cells and complete transfer lines. The U.S. operation of Maus is based in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Hunter Automated Machinery is likewise a longtime leading supplier to the foundry market, having pioneered automated matchplate molding machinery for sand casters. Today, through various affiliate and representative agreements, Hunter also brings a broad line of automated mold handling, core resetters and sand prep testing equipment to foundries worldwide. Hunter operates facilities in the U.S., Brazil, China and Italy.
For Maus, Hunter will provide sales and service representation, as well as test cutting and machine utilization studies for metalcasters, with an initial Maus grinding machine from the industry standard-setting SAM line installed in the Hunter headquarters, near Chicago. Maus will continue to supply technical assistance and application engineering from its existing Virginia Beach tech center.
According to Sandra Selwan, marketing manager for Maus in Italy, “We see great potential in this agreement, as our machines will now be represented by a name known to foundries worldwide. Coupled with our machine quality and innovative engineering, Maus believes the synergy between our company and Hunter will produce substantial mutual benefit.” Ms. Selwan made these comments from the CastExpo, where both companies were exhibiting their machinery and engineering capabilities to metalcasters from every corner of the world.
