East Coast or West Coast? Both!
Ann Arbor, the twin town of Tübingen, Germany is about
40 miles West of Detroit, on the eastern side of the USA.
As a university town, it has a lot to offer culturally — it‘s
no surprise then that musical greats like Iggy Pop have
made their homes here — just like ZOLLER Inc., one of
our two branch offices in the USA. To visit the second
ZOLLER branch office in this, the land of infinite possi-
bilities, we had to travel right across the country to the
West Coast: To Torrance in Los Angeles. Whether East or
West Coast: At ZOLLER all are in agreement about all
matters relating to quality, precision, and efficiency.
Sunny California — The ESPRIT World Conference
In 2015 the ESPRIT World Conference took place in Olym-
pic Valley, California. As always the event organizer was
DP Technology, an ideal venue for this get-together of the
ESPRIT community‘s worldwide network of developers,
dealers, and OEM partners, all associated with metal cut-
ting production. The topic was Breaking Through Bound-
aries, a perfect match for ZOLLER TMS Tool Management
Solutions. The event was presented by Dietmar Moll and
was met with great interest from the participants.
ZOLLER On The Road
Who wouldn‘t enjoy a tour of the U.S.? Our colleagues
from ZOLLER Inc. did just that in 2015, visiting many trade
shows. In Dallas, they represented ZOLLER at AeroDef.,
then continued to the automotive metropolis of Detroit,
for the GearExpo trade show. Their visit to AMTS (Ad-
vanced Manufacturing & Technology Show) took them
to Dayton, then to West Allis where they attended the
WMTS (Wisconsin Manufacturing & Technology Show).
They traveled to Wichita for the WITS (Wichita Industrial
Trade Show), and to Columbus, Ohio for PMTS (Precision
Machining Technology Show), and finished up in Massa-
chusetts at EASTEC. Not bad when you see how you can
get around the country as a ZOLLER employee!
So many trade fairs. Did any one stand out in partic-
ular? This was the question we wanted our overseas
colleagues to answer for us. Michael Stepke explained
that he was especially enthusiastic about one of the
smaller events — EASTEC in Massachusetts: “One of the
best local trade fairs in the USA,“ he enthused, explaining
that the inspection solutions from ZOLLER really struck a
chord with event attendees.
