Techspex brings buyers and sellers of machine tools and related equipment, software, and services, together in a useful, comprehensive and up-to-date network. 

With so much information on the Web, a kind of traffic cop or super-search engine is needed to assemble, organize, and present the more complex information originating from multiple sources. Techspex is a good example of such a targeted super-search engine.  Google and Yahoo simply match keywords to Web pages. Techspex enables visitors to slice and dice machine tool model specifications, contact info and representation data like no regular search engine could ever hope to.  

We've learned that people who use the Internet to look for products or services don't want to visit site after site playing "hit or miss." Ideally, one site will serve as the "traffic cop" for all related sites, thereby pre-qualifying content and enabling visits to sites that actually have the types of products and services the user needs. Techspex has become known as the first place to look by thousands of machine tool users and buyers. Why? Because Techspex represents the merger of deep industry knowledge, database technology and the Internet, resulting in the super search engine for machine tools. Maybe even more telling is that over 5,000 machine tool industry professionals use Techspex for their own research. When they're in the trenches fighting for orders, they refer to Techspex for competitive data. 

Together with the AMTDA, distributors, builders, and users of machine tools, we're creating a simple but useful resource to help facilitate a more efficient exchange of technical information and a place where pre-commerce can work.

Techspex brings the critical pieces together:

• A powerful machine tool search engine and database
• Spreadsheet and RFQ functionality
• Machine tool manufacturer search directories
• Machine tool distributor search directories
• Product and supplier directories with refined
  sub-category identification
• Supplier "self-service" maintenance of their own listing in Techspex

Techspex has attracted thousands of our industry's buyers because the Techspex databases save considerable time while helping them make better-informed decisions, and all at no cost. Full use of the database is free to machine tool users and buyers with registration. Now, machine tool builders, distributors, and suppliers are taking direct "ownership" of the data. Techspex has introduced self-maintenance so that suppliers in the database have the ability to verify and update their own data. 

Gradually, Techspex has evolved into a new industry standard. Since its founding we've focused on building easy-to use and comprehensive machine databases; we've listened to suppliers and manufacturers and refined the application; we've upgraded hardware and software and added tools to make the site even more useful to buyers as well as to our customers - the suppliers who support our operations. In the coming months, we'll be adding other features. Our goal is to make Techspex the most accurate and relied upon resource for machine tool data in the world. We're already "the first place to look" when you're in manufacturing and in the market to buy machine tools and related equipment.
