OMAX® Corp. Celebrates 20th

KENT, Wash. – Waterjet producer OMAX Corp. will celebrate 20 years of continuous innovation in technology with a special event at its campus here on Aug. 20.

The event will feature the latest advancements in waterjet machining as well as technical sessions, live cutting demonstrations and tours of the company’s recently expanded manufacturing factory.

Last fall, OMAX completed the largest expansion to date of its Kent-based manufacturing campus, where it designs, builds and supports its OMAX and MAXIEM product lines. The new 22,000 ft² building extends the company’s training, research and development, and engineering efforts. Currently, the campus encompasses 130,000 ft² of space spread across three buildings.

“Over the past two decades, OMAX has brought together the leading innovators and experts in abrasive waterjet technology to meet the diverse and changing needs of manufacturers across all industry segments,” said John Cheung, OMAX CEO. “And while the past 20 years have been an amazing journey, we look forward to continuing our commitment to providing our customers with the best possible technology, service and support for growing their businesses.”   

Dr. Cheung and Dr. John Olsen founded OMAX in 1993, revolutionizing the waterjet-machining process as a new type of motion control technology and proprietary software allowed for the development of the first truly affordable waterjet system to offer fast, precise and consistent results. Today, OMAX Corporation continues to shape the future
of waterjet machining with its diverse, highly advanced product solutions that offer the broadest range of table sizes, pumps, accessories and software on the market

During the anniversary event, OMAX will introduce enhanced capabilities of the company’s Intelli-MAX® Software Suite. In the past year alone, the company improved 3D part-processing operations via its intuitive Intelli-MAX Software; the company continually updates this software to further benefit its customers, offering free upgrades for as long as they own their OMAX machines.
