They need millions of high quality systems, collets, and clamping systems. So, since many years we were focused on Indian market and today is a great day to be here.” Rego-Fix’s influence extends across more than fifty countries worldwide, with subsidiaries in the US, Europe, and Asia.

He emphasized the potential of the Indian market, particularly in high-technology sectors. The technical center serves as a platform for Indian industries to experience firsthand the precision and reliability offered by Rego-Fix’s toolholding systems.
