SCM Group held an open house to mark its expansion in Duluth, Ga.
SCM Group North America showed its expanded Duluth, Ga., showroom during an open house event in late August. The showroom was expanded to replicate a similar operation in Italy. According to SCM's Thomas Tuck, 4,500 square feet was added, bringing the overall size to 65,000 square feet. Attendance at the event was boosted by a bus tour of Cabinet Makers Assn. members
During the open house event, SCM showed its new offload/onload system that can handle 5 x 12 sheets in a closed gantry configuration on a Mobidelli Universal 3615 machining center. A new moulder design was also shown. To see the offload/onload system, go to SCM Group video.
Tuck said that in the current economy, the more companies have to offer customers the busier they'll be. "We've done all right because of this diversity," he said.
"You have to keep changing your products. Our biggest competitor is our older products."
