Dear customers and friends of the CHIRON Group,

»We are one« is the guiding theme of our current customer magazine. But what does this statement stand for? On the one hand, it refers for our global brand CHIRON Group, which is more than the sum of its former individual brands: »One address« where you get everything you need to advance your production processes directly and sustainably.

On the other hand, our unity is reflected in an unmistakable, strong brand image that instantly distinguishes us as your quality partner. And yet another aspect: »We are one« also symbolizes our intensive internal cooperation – acting as a reliable, global partner for your success with our products and services.

For example, with our innovations, which we present to you in the IMPULS section: new options for the MT variants of the 715 Series, including highly productive 6-sided complete machining, even for components with gears. The FZ 19 S five axis, the first machining center of the new 19 Series, which demonstrates its universal application possibilities ahead of its official premiere. We also provide information on an intelligent alternative to buying a machine and explain why a turnkey solution comprising automation and a machining center is the dream team for the future of manufacturing.

Also in this issue: an in-depth interview with Frank Geiselhart. The Senior Vice President Global Service provides insight into current topics, talks about the benefits of new offerings such as spindle repair or the customer portal with e-shop, and outlines how the service journey will continue. And how you, as our customer, can be part of it.

In addition, we take a look at the exhibitions in 2023 and 2024, present the most important contents of our new Sustainability Report 2023 and introduce you to our location CHIRON Croatia and the holiday region Zadar. 

We wish you an inspiring read and look forward to seeing you at the AMB 2024. At booth A51 in the Paul Horn Hall, featuring the promising motto »Machining solutions for future challenges«.
