CMZ Articles

We embrace the end of this atypical year, 2020, whose main milestone has undoubtedly been the outbreak of COVID-19. This log cannot leave out such a transcendental event in its usual annual analysis because, to a greater or lesser extent, this pandemic has changed all of us somewhat. What we can do however is see the glass as half full, because, fortunately, over these last almost 365 days, we have also experienced some unique situations and moments. And that’s what our annual review is about: everything good that happened in 2020 at this CNC lathe manufacturer, as it takes a look back today and remembers the best bits.

When everyone else was turning to ad hoc production of machinery and turnkey projects, we decided to focus on the serial production of CNC lathes. With no desire to reinforce our position as the “weirdo of machine tools”, it is no surprise, therefore, that in a year like this, we have decided to celebrate. As we mark 75 years of our history, we are fully aware of how this pandemic has changed us all. Now is not the time for big crowds, nor shortening distances, but there are many ways of celebrating.

Cafisur, an industrial sheet metal fabrication company belonging to the CMZ group, has recently completed its move to what will be its new plant in the Tecnobahía Technology Park in El Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz, Spain. The new building has over 8,200m2 of usable surface area on a 16,000m2 plot of land, and it will help to significantly increase the company's production capacities.

Over the years, our family of products has been progressively growing. Currently, we have a range of digital control lathes that are capable of responding to the turning needs of each customer. This has been possible thanks to many factors: R&D, investment, the team... Thanks to the TD Z2200-Z3200 Series, our large lathes, we have realised that large does not mean slow. Here, we will tell you how.

The decision to buy a new cnc lathe is always an important one. It can be a big investment and, as a result, it is essential to get the best value for money. In the current climate, it is very important to have very clear recovery plans and assistance available to buy machinery.

A few weeks before moment zero, in other words, before the coronavirus appeared in our lives, we were finally launching our online system for new machine stock. We believe, now more than ever, that our new CNC lathes in stock can be a good alternative for those seeking quick delivery at a competitive price.

We've done it again. Not long ago we decided that large lathes could become one more member of CMZ’s family of products. And so, it happened, under the slogan “big does not mean slow”, the first CMZ lathes dedicated to machining large scale parts saw the light of day. Now, we are expanding our range of multi-turret machines. A star has been born: the TTL: Series. Now on sale.

These are difficult times. We weren’t counting on a pandemic of uncontrollable scale changing the way in which we see and understand our day-to-day life. Terms such as COVID-19, social distancing and lockdown weren’t part of our vocabulary not so long ago.

Almost without realising it, the final days of 2019 are already slipping through our fingers. As always, we like to come here and take a look back and remember everything that those past 365 days have given us. Many might say “one more year over”... but in our case that has not been the case, it never is. We like to live every moment as if it were the last, and give the best of ourselves, when manufacturing our CNC lathes. In 2019 a star was born, we have grown, we have celebrated, we have brought out brand new arrivals and we have been more #wearecmz than ever. Will you take a look back with us?

After almost 75 years in the machine tooling sector, we are experts in the intricacies of this industry. In an increasingly globalised world, with a trend towards offshoring production, we are firmly committed to our business philosophy; the philosophy of a family business that has experienced significant growth over the last decades. We are CNC lathes manufacturer and, to take on this significant challenge, we apply our own rules and practices. Today we open our doors so that you can discover some of our secrets.

Starting again, one more time. And we will return with the excitement of children using all their new things at the start of the school term. As part of the process of refreshing our corporate image, which we recently completed, we decided to give all of our catalogues a new look. This decision has entailed a lot of work, and lead to the birth of a catalogue that up until now we didn’t have, the Product Range Catalogue. Time flies so quickly that we are already releasing our second edition. It is now available for all of our customers.

For better or for worse, time flies. August is now here, and with it comes the sunshine, the smell of barbecue, the beach, afternoons at the pool and all of those good things we long for throughout the rest of the year. During the month of July, at CMZ the pace of work is dizzying. In this whirlwind of tasks, we have had time to create something magical. We have decided to put our skates on and bring you the best reading material of the summer: the CMZ MAGAZINE is born. We are launching the first issue of our new corporate magazine.
