Fives Moves Machine Tool Services & Solutions to New Facility

Fives Machining Systems, Inc. (Hebron, KY) has relocated Machine Tool Services &Solutions business to a new production facility located at 2200 Litton Lane, Hebron, KY 41048. This business provides productivity enhancements and service support to aerospace and industrial manufacturers for the full range of machine tools in their facilities. This new facility will support the activity of over 20 service centers worldwide, including seven in North America: Hebron, KY; Seattle, WA; Valencia, CA; Wichita, KS; Charlotte, NC; Fond du Lac, WI; and Cambridge, ON.

“With the tremendous growth we have experienced since the acquisition of Konecranes MTS in January of this year and the addition of service centers in the key strategic markets of Wichita, KS, and Charlotte, NC, our business has outgrown the space available in the former Konecranes MTS facility in Erlanger, KY,” explained Steve Thiry, the president and chief executive officer of Fives Machining Systems. “This move provides the expanded floor space in a modern climate controlled facility that is needed to accommodate the retrofit and rebuilding of our customers’ key assets. Our mission to be a world-class service and solutions provider requires the resources and infrastructure of a state-of-the-art production facility. It is an exciting expansion of our retrofit and rebuild capacity!”
