Kaast Machine Tools Offers Monthly Open Houses

Kaast Machine Tools invites current and potential customers to visit its 42,000-square-feet U.S. headquarters in Aldan, Pennsylvania, which is near the Philadelphia International Airport, on the last Friday of each month, starting January 27, 2023.

More than a dozen machines will be running and feature hands-on demonstrations. Included in the machine demos are vertical machining centers (VMC), lathes, saws, surface grinders, press brakes, plate and angle rollers, iron workers and several other machine tools. Customers will be encouraged to test out the machines to learn about their features and available options. Kaast will demonstrate their Bodor fiber lasers with 3- and 6-kW machines running. Existing customers will also be on site to discuss Kaast customer support and machine durability.

Incorporated in 2011, Kaast machines have been on the market for over a decade, and most are reportedly still running. “As a newer brand to the market, we understand that customers want and need to see our set up and operation to feel comfortable investing in our equipment,” operation manager Ebony Goldsmith explains. The monthly open house events will allow customers learn more about the equipment, and local trade school students are also invited to the events. “So many kids don’t realize the diversity of careers in the machine tool industry,” Goldsmith says, “because professionals ranging from plant managers to machinists to applications engineers attend our open houses, it really opens their eyes to the opportunities in the field.”
