Kitagawa NorthTech
Acquires Tecnara Tooling
Systems’ Core Product
Offerings
Kitagawa NorthTech, Inc. an- nounced that it has acquired Tecnara Tooling System’s principal product lines through strategic acquisition. The two specific product lines in the purchase include Kitagawa NC rotary tables and exclusive distribution rights to MST yellow angle head products.
Kitagawa NorthTech will be imme- diately stocking inventory of Kitagawa rotary tables and MST products to sup- port its customers throughout North America.
“Kitagawa NorthTech and Tecnara Tooling Systems have shared a suc-
cessful sales and business partner- ship for over 25 years, which helped facilitate the acquisition,” said a spokesperson.
Based in Santa Fe Springs, CA, and established in 1979, Tecnara Tool- ing System has been the exclusive distributor of Kitagawa branded NC Rotary Tables in the USA since 1995. Tecnara Tooling, in partnership with MST Corporation, developed the Yel- low Angle Head product line and has been exclusively representing this line for the past 30 years.
In addition to the angle heads, Tecnara represented MST’s family of shrink-fit tool holders and 5-axis work- holding, both of which are included in the acquisition.
Tomo Yamamoto, president of Kitagawa NorthTech, said, “Obtaining the Kitagawa NC Rotary Table product line was a strategic and logical decision to consolidate all Kitagawa brands under one organizational umbrella at Kitagawa NorthTech, Inc. Now we truly offer North American customers comprehensive turn-key workholding solutions for both turning and milling applications.”
