MAKINO LAUNCHES BLOG ON HEAT WIRE EDM TECHNOLOGY
Makino Launches BLOG on
HEAT Wire EDM Technology
Customer stories, questions and
comments will be posted in real-time
MASON, OH - November 2006 - Makino was one of the first major machine tool
companies to tackle the world wide web with an internet site, pioneered online
machine tool training, began undertaking the first extensive online seminar
program by a machine tool company, and now, Makino has launched one of the
first machine-tool technology weblogs, or blog, on HEAT wire EDM technology at www.makino.com/heatblog.
“We thought to ourselves – what’s the best way to
communicate the success we’ve been having with this new, dynamic technology?”
said Mark Rentschler, marketing manager for Makino. “A blog is a great way to
communicate information in real-time, and to allow for feedback from those
interested in the topic. HEAT seemed perfect for this medium.”
Makino’s HEAT blog is updated several times a week by
Jeff Kiszonas, EDM product manager at Makino. Kiszonas is located at Makino’s
Die/Mold Center in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
“It’s very cool to be able to share emails from
application engineers, questions wire EDM users ask, and general thoughts about
the technology so easily,” said Kiszonas. “If you’ve never used a blog before, it’s really
simple and allows you to share information quickly and efficiently.”
