After many years of collaboration with Hommel GmbH, the Japanese manufacturer of high-quality CNC lathes and turning-milling centers, Nakamura-Tome, has restructured the sales and service responsibilities in Germany and Austria. From now on, Nakamura-Tome Precision Industry GmbH based in Germany will take over these tasks directly, ending the previous cooperation with Hommel GmbH.
With this strategic step, the company aims to intensify customer proximity, further optimize service quality, and sustainably strengthen its market position in the leading machine tool market in Europe.
The sales and service units in Cologne and Ingelheim have already been fully integrated into the Nakamura-Tome organization. Additionally, Nakamura-Tome and Hommel will continue to work closely and trustfully during a transition phase to ensure a smooth process. For customers and business partners, the familiar corporate environment will remain largely unchanged. To ensure continuity and transparency, the vast majority of familiar contacts will still be available unchanged.
The new management structure in the sales and service area includes:
- Sales Manager: André Merten
André Merten brings nearly 25 years of experience with Nakamura-Tome products. In his new role, he will lead the sales department and significantly drive growth and customer relationships.
