Boart Longyear is a trusted partner and global leader in providing world-class drilling services and products to their customers. Boart Longyear's global head quarters are located in the heart of Salt Lake City, Utah, where they manufacture diamond drills for the mining industry. They currently have five Okuma's all bought from Hartwig.

When asking Drew Butler, the plant manager, how this experience has impacted his business, he replied, "Our business was increasing at a very rapid rate and these lathes allowed us to be more efficient with less people and less equipment. We would have needed more equipment if we had gone with a different type of machine, but Lynn Smith convinced us that a dual turret lathe would be the best fit and he was right!"

Boart Longyear has been buying from Lynn Smith for a while, and when asked why he chose Hartwig over the competitors he stated, "We had a good relationship with Lynn and trusted his judgment on what type of lathe would be best suited for our requirements. Lynn was able to show us the reason why we should choose Okuma over the rest. The machines are used hard and have run extremely well over the past two years with just normal routine maintenance."

Hartwig takes pride in their service department and Drew went onto say, "The service from Hartwig has been very good. If we have an issue they are here usually the same day, and any issues we have had were quickly resolved by Lynn Smith. We would buy another Okuma from Hartwig, the sales and service teams have been very good. The machine's dependability and speed have been the best part of this experience."
