Reflecting on IMTS 2024: Celebrating Innovation, Partnership, and Leadership

Attending the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2024 was an excellent experience for Clausing Industrial. As one of the world’s largest and most influential manufacturing technology trade shows, IMTS provided us with an invaluable opportunity to connect with industry professionals, showcase our latest machine tool innovations, and strengthen our strategic partnerships. This year, a particular highlight was seeing our president, Kevin Mungovan, recognized for his exemplary career in the machine tool industry.

Honoring Kevin Mungovan: Leadership and Expertise in Action

Among the numerous achievements and exciting moments at IMTS, one truly stood out: Kevin Mungovan, our president, was honored on the prestigious Certified Manufacturing Technology Sales Engineer (CMTSE) Wall of Fame. Kevin’s journey with Clausing began over 40 years ago, when he joined the team as a Service Engineer. In that role, he focused on reducing our customers’ downtime, dedicating himself to learning the intricate details of our products and their applications in real-world settings. His in-depth technical expertise and dedication to customer satisfaction became the cornerstone of his approach as he moved into sales management, a role in which he expanded our product offerings and strengthened relationships with key partners across the industry.

Since stepping into the role of president in 2015, Kevin has continued to bring his customer-first mindset to every aspect of our company. Under his leadership, the Clausing name continues to be known for high-quality, reliable machine tools and support solutions tailored to the ever-evolving needs of the manufacturing industry worldwide. Being featured on the Wall of Fame at IMTS 2024 was a well-deserved acknowledgment of Kevin’s commitment to Clausing and the industry as a whole.

Showcasing Our Innovations: A Glimpse Into the Future

IMTS is known for its focus on cutting-edge technology, and this year was no exception. Clausing proudly presented our latest advancements, reflecting our commitment to enhancing manufacturing productivity and precision. From Automated parts tending to innovative control systems, we demonstrated how our solutions support modern manufacturing challenges and help our customers remain competitive in an ever-evolving market.

We were also proud to showcase our collaboration with HEIDENHAIN, whose advanced CNC controls were a central feature. HEIDENHAIN’s reputation for precision and performance complements our own mission to provide machine tools that meet the highest standards of quality. Working alongside such industry-leading partners enables us to continually push the boundaries of what’s possible in machining and manufacturing technology.

IMTS 2024 brought together thousands of professionals from around the world, and we were thrilled to be part of such a dynamic gathering. The opportunity to connect with so many in our field – from current customers to potential partners – was invaluable. The show allowed us to exchange insights, learn from the experiences of others, and share the progress we’ve made over the past year.
