TOLLAND, CT, USA, Feb 4, 2026 – Mastercam, the world’s leading CAD/CAM software provider and part of the Sandvik Group, announced the completion of a strategic acquisition to strengthen its market presence across key U.S. states. The company has acquired the CAM business line of MLC CAD Systems, a longtime channel partner with decades of CAD/CAM industry expertise.
Integrating Regional Knowledge for Enhanced Customer Support
MLC CAD Systems has served as a trusted Mastercam Channel Partner for over 40 years, delivering comprehensive CAD/CAM solutions and technical support to manufacturers in the Western and Southwestern parts of the United States. This acquisition integrates MLC CAD Systems’ deep regional knowledge and customer relationships directly into Mastercam’s operations, enhancing service delivery and responsiveness across these strategic markets. MLC CAD Systems will continue to collaborate with Mastercam as a technical solutions provider, with a focus on other complementary suite of design and manufacturing solutions.
“This isn’t just about growth—it’s about building stronger connections with manufacturers throughout the Western and Southwestern United States,” said Russ Bukowski, President of Mastercam. “By bringing together MLC CAD Systems’ CAM know-how and Mastercam’s worldwide reach, we’re making sure customers get quicker, more personalized support that truly fits their needs.”
Setting a New Standard for Localized Support
This acquisition represents Mastercam’s commitment to providing unparalleled local customer support and service excellence as a key market differentiator.
