MISSISSAUGA, Ontario — ZOLLER marked the company’s 80th anniversary with an Open House & Technology Day event and grand reopening celebration at its expanded facility in Mississauga, Ontario. The event welcomed customers, partners, industry leaders, and media to experience the latest in smart manufacturing technology and to honor ZOLLER’s longstanding commitment to innovation and customer success.
The celebration began with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Mr. Alexander Zoller, President of ZOLLER Inc., and Chander Bhardwaj, General Manager of ZOLLER Canada. They were joined by Councillor Martin Reid of the City of Mississauga and Lukas Kirstgen, Vice President of the Canadian German Chamber of Industry and Commerce. The ceremony not only marked the reopening of the facility but also reinforced the importance of both global and regional partnership.
Throughout the day, attendees explored live demonstrations and technical sessions that showcased how ZOLLER Solutions help shops of all sizes increase quality, productivity, and efficiency in their production processes. The ZOLLER Canada Open House & Technology Day also launched the 2026 Toolroom of the Year competition, emphasizing its commitment to efficiency and customer success. The competition celebrates manufacturers who use ZOLLER technology to optimize cutting tool management and maximize shop floor efficiency.
Key presentations included insights from Chander Bhardwaj on the ZOLLER roadmap and Rachid Lafkir, who outlined how companies can leverage ZOLLER Tool Management Solutions (TMS) to gain complete control over the management of cutting tools. The event featured guest speaker Bill McMaster, General Manager of Apex Cutting Tools, who shared firsthand how his team has utilized ZOLLER tool inspection solutions to gain greater consistency across their operations.
“We’re building out more than a showroom and a facility—we’re building relationships and empowering manufacturers to take control of their tool data, reduce setup time, and increase production quality and productivity for shops of all sizes. ZOLLER Canada is now fully equipped to drive the future of manufacturing—right here in Mississauga,” said Mr. Alexander Zoller.
With the expansion of ZOLLER Canada and the continued rollout of new innovations, the company is well positioned to support customers across the region for decades to come.
