LAS VEGAS -- Stiles Machinery’s booth at AWFS Fair featured technology suited for the North American manufacturing market. From new sliding table saws from Ironwood to new panel cutting software and made-in-the-USA CNC equipment from Homag, and a range of service and support offerings, Stiles showcased products designed to help manufacturers.

Stiles had 15,000 square feet of booth space, 40 machines under power, more than 150 industry experts on scene, and over 30 hours of machine demonstrations and educational sessions. When asked about their goal for this year’s show, Stiles stated that they were focused on helping North American manufacturers increase the bottom line.

“We believe that highly intelligent, innovative technology should be accessible and affordable for manufacturers of all sizes, and we wanted our booth to be a reflection of that,” said Doug Maat, director of strategic sales at Stiles.

This year’s show also revealed an increasing interest in digital technology. According to Stiles, attendees to their booth expressed interest in everything from the new free intelliSanding App from Homag to complete digital integration from the front office to the production floor. 

In addition to the technology on display, Stiles showcased their support services including 24-hour parts and technical support, rebuild solutions, and the industry’s only accredited workforce development and training program, Stiles University.

Experts from Stiles participated in multiple educational sessions throughout the three-day event to offer attendees an inside look at current trends and challenges facing manufacturers. Through SMART sessions, Rapid Fire Sessions, and WED Talks, Stiles shared insights regarding the most relevant applications and technology to the North American market.
