I’m Luis (Louie) Avilés, Regional Sales Manager for IL at Mac-Tech (louie@mac-tech.com, 847-627-6009). Over the last 15+ years, I’ve dedicated myself to understanding the ins and outs of machine tools and metal fabrication. Working closely with fabricators, I’ve seen firsthand how a well-chosen piece of equipment—like a Stefa coil processing system—can completely transform a shop’s workflow and production quality. My mission is to help businesses thrive by guiding them toward modern solutions that truly address their unique challenges.
Leveraging 15+ Years of Customer-Focused Expertise
I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with a variety of shops, from small job operations to large-scale production facilities. Each time, I discover new ways to blend my knowledge of fabrication equipment with their specific production needs. This focus on customization and long-term success is built on a foundation of trust and transparency.
Much of my experience comes from seeing how reliability and precision can reshape a company’s bottom line. With trusted names like Stefa, you’re leveraging advanced coil processing technology designed to streamline metalworking processes. The result is improved throughput, reduced waste, and a noticeable boost in overall product quality.
I believe in continually adapting to industry changes and using the right mix of technology and support to keep customers ahead of the curve. From analyzing machine capabilities to fine-tuning fabrication workflows, I enjoy helping manufacturers make the most of every advancement—because success in this industry depends on constantly looking toward the future.
Tailored Coil Processing for Optimal Results
A key benefit of working with Stefa is the versatility of their coil processing systems. Designed to handle decoiling, leveling, and cutting operations, these machines cater to a broad range of production requirements. For a fabricator, it’s about matching the right configuration to the right application, whether you’re processing thin-gauge sheet metal or heavy coils.
Optimal results come from a deliberate focus on efficiency and precision. By integrating advanced technology into each Stefa model, users find that coil handling becomes smoother, safety measures are improved, and material waste is minimized. I take pride in recommending these systems because they align so well with the overall goal of driving productivity and cost savings.
What sets Stefa apart is their commitment to customization. Their breadth of configuration options means you can tailor the machine’s performance to specific output goals. From storage solutions to feeding mechanisms, each phase of coil processing is examined to ensure you get the best return on investment—streamlining your workflow while reducing error rates and downtime.
