First-hand experience adds to builder's success: A U.S.-owned builder of CNC Swiss machines makes the most of its early days as a job shop

摘要

Near the foothills of one of the greatest mountain ranges in the world lies a family-owned machine tool builder specializing in Swiss machines. The story may sound familiar, but there's a twist, as KSI Swiss is nowhere near the Alps. In Westminster, Colorado, just outside of Denver, the McBride family can walk outside their KSI Swiss headquarters and see the Rocky Mountains in all their splendor. Maybe there's something magical that the mountainous environment brings, or maybe it's the experience of having started out as a job shop, but KSI has found success in being a rare U.S.-owned builder of CNC Swiss automatics.
