The centerpiece of the new facility is the application center, where state-of-the-art machining technologies are showcased on several milling and turning centers. Visitors have the unique opportunity to witness live how innovative technologies are applied in practice. The neutral platform offers specialists in the fields of cutting tools, clamping devices, software, automation, and metrology unparalleled access to a broad and eager US audience—including end-users, distribution partners, universities, and other target groups.

The facility is led by experienced machining professionals and technologists who specialize in conveying the highest level of technical expertise in a practical and knowledgeable manner. The goal is to provide interested professionals with a comprehensive insight into complex machining processes.

The spacious auditorium offers ample room for demonstrations with 70 seats. The modern video and audio technology enables training and seminars that give participants the opportunity to learn and discuss the latest trends and developments in machining technology right at the cutting edge.

The opening was accompanied by a ceremonial event held on October 24, 2024. The three sons of the company's founder, Fritz Weber, were present to celebrate this occasion together with numerous invited guests from Switzerland and the USA. For Richard, Andreas, and Stefan Weber, this was the next logical step in the USA, after Rego-Fix first opened a US branch in 1988 and has since been distributing state-of-the-art tool clamping systems "Made in Switzerland" on the American market.

Pascal Forrer, Head of Sales & Marketing at the Rego-Fix Group, emphasizes the strategic importance of the "Center for Machining Excellence": "Indiana is the ideal location for us to showcase our technological innovations in the USA and to intensify exchanges with leading experts and customers. The Midwest also hosts significant sectors of the US economy, particularly in the production of medical, aerospace, automotive, and defense industries—all sectors that rely on the sophisticated technical expertise of Swiss manufacturers."

Since its founding in 1950, Rego-Fix has established itself as a leading provider of tool clamping systems. All tools are manufactured at the headquarters in Tenniken. Thanks to continuous and successful growth, the company from Baselland is planning another production building, which will be operational in 2026. Rego-Fix is proud of its successful development and especially of promoting Swiss partnerships worldwide.
