On July 13, Eastman Machine Co. (Buffalo, N.Y., U.S.) broke ground on an expansion to its headquarters. The 7,500-square-foot expansion of the facility will provide more capacity for the company to accommodate the accelerated development and scope of its work. In the expanded building, Eastman plans to create a robust demonstration and research center for its composites cutting technology and solutions.

“We wouldn’t be here today without each and every one of you,” says Robert Stevenson, fourth-generation CEO, to a crowd of employees. “This expansion is proof of our team’s strength, agility and dedication to customers.”

In the expanded building, Eastman plans to create a robust demonstration and research center for its cutting technology and solutions. To Stevenson, personalized service and support are what separates Eastman from its competition.

Eastman Machine Co. was founded in 1888 after developing what is said to be the first electric fabric cutting machine. According to the company, the machine put an end to tedious manual cutting room labor and remains a necessity among various industries on a global scale. Almost five generations later, Eastman Machine continues to support manufacturers by cultivating advanced cutting technology.
