Methods Machine Tools Appoints YASDA Product Manager

Methods Machine Tools Inc., a supplier of precision machine tools, automation and accessories, has appointed James “Steve” Previti as YASDA Product Manager. Previti will create and execute the North American sales strategy for Methods’ new line of machines.

YASDA Precision Tools is considered an elite Japanese builder of machining centers and jig borers.
 
“Steve is a great addition to the Methods’ team,” Methods Machine President/CEO Bryon Deysher said.  “He has over 16 years experience in the machine tool industry. In addition, he is well known in markets ideally suited for YASDA.”

“The need for more efficient ways to machine exceptional, high quality parts is increasing as manufacturers in segments such as aerospace, die/mold and automotive, are demanding tighter tolerances combined with shortened cycle times,” said Previti. “We expect this trend to continue over the next several decades and YASDA precision machine tools are well positioned to meet this challenge for OEM’s and job shops.”
