United Grinding Expands Distribution Network in Mexico, US

United Grinding North America has expanded its distribution network with the addition of Intermaq, a machine tool distributor in Mexico, and the addition of Methods Machine Tools to two more U.S. states.

Intermaq will represent the full line of equipment offered by United Grinding North America, and will be instrumental in expanding the footprint of the precision CNC grinding market in Mexico. 

“As a part of our ongoing commitment to serving customers in North America, I’m proud to announce Intermaq as our new dealer partner in the Mexican market,” says Markus Stolmar, United Grinding North America president and CEO. “Intermaq has a stellar track record and reputation in Mexico as a trusted, reliable and knowledgeable partner to many, many manufacturers. With our base of Mexican operations in Querétaro, Managing Director German Gordillo and his team embedded in the market, and our new partners Intermaq, I am optimistic that we’ll be able to bring our world-class technology to more manufacturers than ever before.”

Gordillo has been a strong advocate of the alliance. “Intermaq is the perfect partner for United Grinding in Mexico,” he says. ‘Their knowledge of the industry in each region is unmatched, and our teams are already working together to bring our technology to manufacturers who require maximum precision. I am confident with Intermaq and United Grinding working together, we’ll be able to elevate precision grinding to new heights in Mexico.”

Juan Oetling, CEO of Intermaq, is equally enthusiastic about the potential of the new collaboration. “Intermaq is excited to partner with United Grinding North America and bring their world-class precision grinding equipment to the manufacturing market in Mexico,” he says. “We’ll be working closely with German and the United Grinding Mexico team in Querétaro to train our staff on the latest advancements in grinding technology. We will then provide demonstrations in showrooms located in strategic cities throughout the country, including Mexico City, Monterrey, León, San Luis Potosí and Puebla. With the United Grinding products in our lineup, I’m confident that we’ll be able to help our customers take their precision manufacturing programs to the next level.” 

United Grinding North America also announced that distribution associate Methods Machine Tools will now offer its services to two new states in the U.S. “Methods Machine Tools has been our dealer partner for some time in portions of the Southeastern territory, and has found great success selling our equipment on incredible projects,” Stolmar says. “Because of our successful partnership, the decision was made to offer Methods an expanded territory and award Florida and Michigan to their dealership. I’m excited to see Methods Machine Tool find the same level of success in their new territory as they have in the Southeast. These additions to United Grinding North America’s team of distributors extends our umbrella of products and services to an even greater percentage of the manufacturing population in our geographic coverage.”
