OGP® Announces New, Larger Western Technical Center for Improved Customer Support

Rochester, NY - Optical Gaging Products, Inc. (OGP) has relocated its Tempe, Arizona regional technical center into a larger facility, and expanded the services it offers. The new facility is designed to support sales, applications support, service, and training for the company's customers in the western United States, Mexico, and western Canada. The move reinforces the company's commitment to the region that it established with its first Arizona office in 1985.

"We needed more room to meet the needs of our large, and growing base of customers," says Mark Glowacky, Western Regional Manager for OGP. "Our new multi-purpose facility lets us do product demonstrations, service, and customer training simultaneously." Additions were made to the staff at the Tempe office to enhance these services.

The Tempe Technical Center has a dedicated classroom with large screen LCD projection for classroom-based product training, demonstrations, and regional meetings. The demonstration rooms include all the current OGP products including SmartScope® Flash, Flare, ZIP and Quest 250 benchtop video measurement systems, SmartScope Quest 450 and Apex large format systems, Cobra 2D and 3D laser profile scanners, and Focus and QL-20 Contour Projectors.

Glowacky says, "Our expanded demonstration labs give us enough room to demonstrate our measurement systems and perform detailed applications studies for our customers at the same time." He points out that, "The decision to move into a larger space was customer-driven. We want to be more responsive to requests from our customers."
