Biesse is proud to announce the addition of Chaparral Machinery as an authorized dealer representing our metal and material processing product lines including our advanced Tekni metal cutting and processing solutions across Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Texas.
Based in Grand Prairie, TX, Chaparral Machinery has built a distinguished reputation over the years as a trusted source of high-performance manufacturing equipment throughout the South-Central United States. Their portfolio of premium brands including Hurco, Takumi, Starrag, Hanwha, and Mitutoyo reflects a commitment to quality, precision, and the kind of technical depth that serious manufacturers demand. With dedicated sales and service teams and a deep understanding of machining, inspection, and precision measurement applications, Chaparral Machinery brings a level of expertise and regional reach that makes them an ideal partner for Biesse.
“Chaparral Machinery represents exactly the kind of partner we look for. They bring decades of machine tool expertise, a strong regional presence, and a customer-first philosophy that aligns with how we operate. Their ability to support manufacturers across a wide range of applications — from precision machining to advanced materials makes them ideally positioned to represent our Biesse Tekni and Biesse Explora in this important territory” said Jim Fields, Sales Director for Metal and Advanced Materials.
As part of this partnership, Chaparral Machinery will represent Biesse's Tekni metal solutions (formerly known as Techni Waterjet), recognized for their precision cutting capabilities, efficiency in high-volume environments, and ability to process a wide range of materials. From thin-gauge metals to demanding industrial applications, Tekni systems deliver consistent quality, reduced waste, and optimized throughput for modern fabrication operations. In addition, Chaparral Machinery will also represent Biesse's Explora solutions for Advanced Materials.
The addition of Biesse's Tekni and Advanced Materials lines complements Chaparral Machinery's existing portfolio, seamlessly expanding the cutting and processing capabilities they can offer to manufacturers across their six-state territory. For shops already working with Chaparral on machining centers, lathes, boring mills, or precision measurement equipment, this partnership opens the door to a fully integrated manufacturing solution under one trusted relationship.
"We are excited to partner with Biesse and bring the Tekni platform to manufacturers across our region. Our customers trust us to bring them the best technology available — technology that delivers real results on the shop floor. Biesse's Tekni solutions are a natural extension of what we stand for: precision, performance, and long-term value. We look forward to introducing these capabilities to shops across Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Texas." Chris Turnbull, Owner, Chaparral Machinery
Together, Biesse and Chaparral Machinery will provide manufacturers across the South-Central United States with innovative solutions, deep application expertise, and the responsive support needed to compete and grow in today's demanding production environment.
