KASTO’s new Showroom & Technology Center is situated in a central location for customers and business partners in the North American Market. KASTO has equipped the location with its latest sawing, storage and digital solutions which will allow customers to view KASTO products, perform test cuts and consult with product experts. Armin Stolzer, Ruth Stolzer and Sönke Krebber from the KASTO Board of Directors travelled from Achern, Germany to attend the opening and meet with attendees. Armin Stolzer, Chairman and CEO of the KASTO Group, addressed participants with a warm welcome and overview of KASTO’s history, products and philosophy. Sönke Krebber, Member of the Board of Management, presented digital solutions by KASTO in the context of Industry 4.0 and also introduced KASTO’s VisualAssistance service technology which allows for the troubleshooting of KASTO products without a service technician having to physically be at the customer’s site.

After a celebratory champagne toast, attendees were able to view the products on display, which included the KASTOecostore bar variant, which was displayed for the first time in the North American Market.
