WOBURN, MA, June 7, 2018 – AKS Cutting Systems, a subsidiary of Kiffer Industries, today announced that Carlson Fabrication Solutions will represent AKS Cutting Systems CNC Plasma and CNC Waterjet product lines in the New England area beginning July 1, 2018. Chris Phillip, AKS Cutting Systems Northeast Regional Sales Manager will provide support and manage the relationship between AKS and CFS.


Chris Phillip, recently promoted to Northeast Regional Sales Manager, will manage the transition and is excited to work with a dealer who is up to the quality and reputational standards required of all AKS dealer sales representation. Carlson Fabrication Solutions, led by Bob Piispanen, principal owner since 2010, is eager to begin representing the AKS products and models and believes they are a top tier machine tool manufacturer like CFS’s other lines like Accurpress, Accurshear, Timesaver, CY Laser, and DoAll.


AKS Cutting Systems has been building and servicing machine tool equipment for over 100 years out of Cleveland, Ohio. AKS is a leader in the manufacture of CNC Plasma and CNC Waterjet Systems.  


Both companies view this opportunity as a great way to continue to meet and exceed the interests of their customers, especially in the New England territory which CFS serves. CFS and AKS both have a reputation of high quality machinery and service, making this a natural partnership.
