Blum-Novotest, Inc., recently opened the new Blum-Novotest Competence Center (BNCC) in Northern Kentucky / Cincinnati. It is one of four global competence centers for Blum-Novotest. The NKY facility provides a modern hub of technical information, resources and know-how for the Americas. It serves as a regional procurement center to quickly answer the specific market requirements. United States is often viewed as the technological showcase of the world. Manufacturing industries are constantly improving competitiveness with a high level of automation and by integrating state of the art measuring and testing technologies into their process. The Blum-Novotest measuring systems are ideally positioned to enable “lights out manufacturing” in job shop operations as well as in harsh, high-production facilities. 

“With the Competence Centers, the Blum-Novotest mission is to consolidate its global expertise to provide fast and efficient measuring solutions to the local industries, says Lilian Barraud, Blum-Novotest Inc. President / Regional Manager Americas. “The BNCC delivers results with a highly qualified regional team and a fully equipped technical center with the capacity to pilot software development for relevant machine controls.  We will be able to provide needs-based process consulting and optimization.  The BNCC expansion has also enabled us to optimize our supply chain process and add the ability to perform local repairs and assemblies.”
