Hypertherm, a leading manufacturer of advanced metal cutting systems, officially opened the doors to its first cutting technology centre (CTC) in India. Located in New Delhi, the centre is the first and only Hypertherm CTC in India, and one of just three Hypertherm CTCs in Asia.

The facility will serve as a gathering point where channel partner employees can train up their technical skills and sales expertise to enhance their capabilities when introducing Hypertherm products to end-users.

Soo Kam Tatt, Director, Hypertherm Asia, said, ?At Hypertherm, we recognise the significance of our OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), system integrators and distributors. They are our key sales channels in India and are our end-users? main point of contact. That is why we believe in investing effort and resources in training all channel partners, and we have reinforced this commitment with the new CTC.?

The CTC is co-located with Hypertherm?s new office, which has been operationally ready since August 2012. This larger premise houses an increased number of associates who work to meet the needs of the company?s ever-expanding local customer base.
