About 170 prospective customers and distributors toured C.R. Onsrud's state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in North Carolina at its Factory Demo Day.
 

TROUTMAN, N.C. - C.R. Onsrud, manufacturer of American-made CNC machining centers, held its annual Factory Demo Day on Wednesday, March 30, 2022. 

About 170 prospective customers and distributors toured the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, saw live machinery demonstrations, attended educational CNC seminars, and had direct access Q&A with Onsrud CNC experts during this event. 

Among C.R. Onsrud’s demonstrations were both woodworking and metalworking technology including 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis CNC machining and routing, friction stir welding, pendulum processing, and routing of warped plywood using Onsrud's high-speed roller hold down technology.

In addition, they covered a broad array of materials including plywood, aluminum, and composites. They also held multiple education seminars on part holding, machine monitoring, tooling, and aggregates.

“Our goal was to impart knowledge about a few areas that could really improve a business’s manufacturing processes if done correctly,” said speaker and Marketing Brand Manager Greg Moores.

“We were grateful for this valuable networking opportunity and informational exchange,” said C.R. Onsrud RSM Tom Lesch. 

As one parting attendee stated, “It was well worth the investment of time to see a company manufacturing advanced machinery here in the USA.”
