Why Tornos x Ellison Technologies?
Tornos partnered with Ellison Technologies in middle of 2024. Ellison Technologies is a Tornos distributor in 15 US states. To launch off a successful partnership, Tornos and Ellison hosted a open house in Des Plaines, Illinois (Tornos US HQ).
This collaboration is significant because it combines Tornos' expertise in precision CNC machinery, particularly Swiss-type turning technology, with Ellison Technologies' extensive network and experience as a leading machine tool integrator.
Essentially, this partnership will allow manufacturers in the designated states to more easily access Tornos' advanced machining solutions, including their Swiss GT series and MultiSwiss platforms.
