We began our journey in the 1990s as people who purchased and operated CNC Swiss Lathes. Back then, there weren't very many options, and they were prohibitively expensive.

In our quest to find better, more affordable options for use in our own shop, we found a small machine tool builder in South Korea and became the first importer of the Nexturn line in the USA. We imported them first for our own use, then continued to sell over 100 Nexturn CNC Swiss machines all across the country.

After the instant success of the Nexturn line, and after hitting some roadblocks of engineering with the build teams, we decided to build our own line of machines in the USA. We wanted to control the engineering, quality, and be able to produce the most feature-packed machines on the market, for their price range.

The first 13 SQC models were produced in Denver, Colorado, and we quickly realized that the cost to produce these machines in the USA was going to prevent us from hitting our pricing targets.

In order to increase the quality, and decrease the cost, we established MMTC in South Korea, and hired engineers and factory workers to produce SQC #14 and beyond.

We decided to expand operations from the Denver area to allow for training, distribution, and engineering from our new location in Burnsville, Minnesota.

We partnered with HJC (the helmet company) to form HJM, in South Korea, and created our next generation of machines.

The Berkness family decided to purchase KSI from the original family that started the business after working for the business for several years.

In our quest to always find the most value for the dollar, we partnered with BarLoad to begin to import their high-quality barloaders into the USA to continue to provide the best Value on the market.

KSI moved to a new facility to handle increased sales volume.

We were thrilled to combine the best of the SQC series, with new ideas and to launch the SQX and SM Series machines.

A brand new model, with new features, better performance, and a lift up door. Packed with new Fanuc features.

We're always striving to improve performance and value. The TCM S Series is our fastest, most advanced, most feature-filled and highest performing machine yet. Be sure to check out the specifications.

We continued our journey of expansion through services and increased warehouse space by growing our distribution network in both the US and Canadian markets.
