CNC Automation Holds Open House Event on June 10 - 11, 2010

CNC Automation is holding an open house event on June 10 and 11, 2010 from 9 am to 5 pm both days at our St. Zotique, Que., headquarters.

The event marks the official launch of our new Canadian Solid Wood Technology Division as well as the Kentwood by Stiles program of woodworking machinery. A number of machines will be in operation during the event, including a Kentwood 6 heard moulder, a Kentwood Profile Grinder and a Kentwood Multiple Rip Saw. In addition, Stiles solid wood experts will be on hand both event days.

On the panel processing side, we will have a complete nested based manufacturing cell in operation. The cell will consist of a Thermwood CNC router, Fravol & Lange edgebanders (straight and contour), Omal dowel drilling and inserting machine as well as a Giben computerized panel saw.

The open house will also feature finishing solutions in operation including Timesavers wide belt sanders, Loewer profile and moulding finishing sanders as well as a Makor surface staining and coating machine.

Representatives from hardware, software, tooling and dust collector manufacturers will also be on hand to address application questions.

WMS 2009 Habitat for Humanity Initiative

This past September at the WMS 2009 Show, CNC Automation in collaboration with our Suppliers and customers built kitchen cabinets, wardrobes and vanities that were then donated to the Habitat for Humanity Restore Program.

Many of the people who worked together during the show to not only illustrate what our products and machines could do in a real time production environment, were humbled by what was being created for the Habitat for Humanity program.  Too often during shows, raw material is wasted and finished products are destroyed once the show is completed.  This time CNC Automation and our partners wanted to make a difference.  We contacted Habitat for Humanity to see if there was a need.  This partnership proved to be rewarding to all concerned. 

I would like to share with you, a letter that was received from Stewart Hardacre, President and Chief Operating Officer for Habitat for Humanity Canada.

WMS09 & Habitat for Humanity

We are always looking for new ways to present our products and illustrate machines in a real production environment. We quickly realized that the amount of raw material we toss in the garbage was a total waste and thus the idea of donating a finished product became our goal. With the help of Habitat for Humanity we found a great partner to work with while benefiting a great cause and assisting the environment

WMS 2009

CNC Automation has successfully finished yet another WMS show. This year was by far the largest we have ever been thanks to all our valued suppliers and dedicated staff. Our booth was designed as a fully operational plant producing numerous cabinets, complete kitchens and closet organizers for Habitat for Humanity's restores. Steve and Loris from Silhouette Cabinets and Emil from Lovech donated their time to assemble the cabinets with the volunteers from Habitat for Humanity

. Over the next couple of days we will be adding various information regarding the show as well as pictures.

2009 AFDICQ Golf Tournament

Once again the AFDICQ golf tournament has come and gone and was very successful. Our presence as a sponsor and provider of refreshments at 2 holes on the course was greatly appreciated. It was also the first preview showing of Festool Tools which caught the attention of many. We had time to speak with many business owners while offering them a cold beverage which is a great door opener for future sales calls. The turnout was excellent with close to 200 golfers and 250 for supper.  I would like to thank everyone for their assistance and participation.
