CNC Lathes

Cafisur, our industrial metalworking plant situated in Cádiz, is expanding its facilities with the construction of an 8,500m2 plant. The objectives are clear: we want to increase our manufacturing capacity by 50% in the next 3 years. In order to grow you have to invest, and that’s what we are doing.

Unity is strength, and don’t we know it! As you know, at CMZ we manufacture practically all of the components of our lathes in plants that we own ourselves. For everything else, we like to surround ourselves with trusted suppliers of the highest order. One of those is FANUC. All of our machines use their controls, servos, etc. For us, more than just suppliers, they are our partners. That’s why we did not hesitate to attend the Open House they organised last week in their premises in Elgoibar, where they included a TA machine in one of their robots.

Roberto Zumarraga represents the 2nd generation of the large family company that CMZ is today, a leading manufacturer of digital control lathes. But it wasn’t always that way. Roberto lets us into his home and his memory to tell us that things weren’t always better in the past.

As we have already mentioned in previous posts, we try not to miss any of the events that we deem unmissable when it comes to machine tools. The Tornitura Show has become another important event for presenting our lathes in Bergamo. Since Italy is our biggest market, it has been a very productive and interesting fair.

Over 4 years have passed since our engineer Jose Antonio Cañaveras appeared on the popular television show El Hormiguero to demonstrate the qualities of our CMZ lathes. During our appearance, the singers Ana Belén and Victor Manuel were able to watch as, in a matter of seconds, the machine transformed a chunk of brass into a sophisticated chess piece.

SEUNER Fabricados is CMZ’s second Assembly Plant 2 in Mallabia. It started its path in 2015. The plant’s purpose is to manufacture the TD Series, which includes CMZ’s large lathes, with distances of between 2 and 3 metres from tip to plate. Truthfully, we could not be happier. Today, it is a plant that functions at full capacity, where very high quality CNC lathes are made.
