MRM Machinery is a distinguished supplier of CNC machine tools for metal chip machining, representing top-tier manufacturers such as Unisign. The MRM team comprises former employees of Czech machine tool manufacturers, bringing over 20 years of industry experience. They specialize in providing comprehensive services for larger, more complex technological units.

MRM Machinery offers a full suite of services for our Unisign CNC machines, including:

  • Selection and procurement: Helping customers choose the right machine tools.
  • Installation: Constructing foundations and implementing technology solutions for specific workpieces.
  • Training: Offering operator and maintenance training, as well as programming courses.
  • Service support: Providing extensive post-installation support, including warranty and post-warranty services, preventive maintenance, and original spare parts supply.
  • Remote diagnostics: Establishing and operating remote diagnostic systems for machines with HEIDENHAIN and SIEMENS control systems.

Jan Šmíd, Service Manager at MRM Machinery, comments: “We have been partnering with Unisign since our inception in 2015. This collaboration has resulted in the installation of over 10 machines, particularly the successful UNIPORT series, which excels in machining welded structures. Initially we focused on securing business cases and marketing, the partnership however has expanded to include technical support and spare parts delivery. This was especially crucial in the post-COVID era.”

Our collaboration with MRM Machinery offers multiple benefits to our customers in the Czech Republic and Slovakia:

  • Elimination of language barriers: Local staff speak the customers’ language, ensuring clear and effective communication.
  • Rapid response: Quick assistance over the phone or through remote diagnostics minimizes machine downtime.
