Mazak VIP Program Provides Total Manufacturing Solutions

Mazak’s Value Inspired Partners (VIP) technology partnership program further supports customers and provides them with total manufacturing solutions. Stemming from a constant commitment to American manufacturers, this program represents an increased level of partnership with companies that manufacture equipment, software and accessories. To be VIP certified, companies must provide products and services that transcend traditional supplier relationships and regularly meet a set of qualification criteria.

Criteria for VIP certification include the minimum of the following:

• Be a recognized leader with unique, innovative and high quality products
• Provide extensive pre- and post-sales support
• Add value to customer processes and provide system solutions
• Maintain a culture of ethical business standards and practices

“Over the last decade, the rate of technological innovation has increased substantially across all types of manufacturing equipment and software,” says Brian Papke, president of Mazak Corporation. “To provide the best possible solutions to end users, manufacturers in any specific product category cannot operate in a vacuum. By establishing productive partnerships with producers of complementary technologies, we offer customers a more diverse array of technical expertise and achieve development of truly optimized solutions.”

Since its inception last October, the VIP program has created close-knit partnerships between Mazak and LNS, Parlec, Renishaw, Royal Products, Sandvik Coromant, Seco Tools, and ToolingU.
