How did they install thirteen machines in just six months?

When customer demand exploded, Cadrex Manufacturing Solutions had to move fast — really fast.

After taking two years to build their first Kitamura automation cell, they were challenged to get a second one online in just six months. With seamless support from Kitamura and Packard Machine, Dean Lacosse and his team pulled it off, installing another thirteen machines and hitting production goals under immense pressure.

Today, Cadrex runs twenty-six Kitamuras across two fully automated cells — proving what’s possible with the right technology and partners.
