El nuevo centro de Haas ofrecerá Calidad a buen precioThe new Haas Center will offer quality at a good price
All the machinery of Temaqser has begun to operate at 100 per cent to about to have the new HAAS TECHNICAL CENTER that the American firm open in Barcelona on October 2. By now will be the only Center of Haas in our market, even though for a short time: before the next biennial of machine tool will open another Center in the Basque country.
The centre that will inaugurate the next 2 October in Granollers (Barcelona) will have 200 m2 devoted to the exhibition and service to the customer of HAAS. The rest, other 100 m2 will be the offices of the company that will manage the centre, Temaqser. To be chosen by Haas, Temaqser has had to surpass some determinate requirements. In words of his general director, Jaume Casals, the purpose is “to give a good integral service to the customer”. The centres of Haas also are subject to requirements very strict: they have to be very communicated, have to be modern, comfortable and cares until the most minimum details.
But what really matters is what they contain. To begin with, are presented in exhibit three machining centres, (two MiniMill and a vertical centre model VF2) and a lathe SL20.
With this equipment, customers may make the necessary evidence and get an idea of the benefits of the full range of machines.
The equipment will also include a centre of education to ensure that operators who are required to work with the machine become true specialists before laying up. For this reason, modern audiovisual techniques are used.
All these services must be added a severe quality control, (each machine carries a distinctive of the date and the name of the person responsible for the quality). The figure of the lawyer of the customer, person who undertakes to meet their needs and provide prompt response to their problems is interesting in this respect.
Haas products are aimed at businesses that require quality at a reasonable price. This Centre, the ninth of the firm in Europe has opened up for them. The Centre of Barcelona, which will look exactly like their European counterparts, carried out the philosophy of Haas, based on the American model: customer, transparency (including on price), simplicity and low cost.
