 Park Industries Celebrates Inaugural ParkFest, Unveils Four Innovative New Products
   Park Industries, North America’s leading manufacturer of stone CNC machinery, announced the incred- ible success of their inaugural ParkFest event. Held on October 4th at their St. Cloud, Minnesota headquarters, the event was well-attended with over 125 fabricators and 45 vendor partner guests in attendance. ParkFest offered a diverse range of experi- ences for attendees, reflecting the company’s commitment to innovation, education, and community building.
Highlights of the event included Park’s industry-renowned educational session, the Digital Stoneworking ExpoTM, three fab- ricator shop tours, an exclusive tour of the Coldspring quarry, tours of Park’s state-of- the-art manufacturing facility, new machine reveals, a 70th-anniversary party, and more. ParkFest was the first event of its kind for the company, which focused on fostering camaraderie and collaboration within the already tight-knit industry during the plan- ning process.
The most highly regarded portion of ParkFest was the new machine reveals, where Park announced and showcased four new machine solutions including the new JAVELINTM. This groundbreaking CNC sawjet features advanced high-production sawing while boasting the smallest two-table footprint with the largest mitering envelope in the industry. The unveiling of the JAVELIN was a grandiose production featuring a mas- sive silk drape covering Park’s newest inno- vation with hundreds of guests packed into
Park’s training center. A short introduction and development history of the machine from Mike Anderson, VP of Engineering, and Scott Christman, Director of Product and Growth, set the stage for the epic unveiling, set to music and lights. Upon the drape being pulled, the room quickly filled with applause and the flash of cameras as guests captured the JAVELINTM performing its first demo.
The other machine launches included the TITAN® 4000 series featuring the TITAN® 4700 and TITAN® 4800, the fourth gen- eration of the company’s industry-leading CNC router, and the HydroClearTM PRO 400, a high-production addition to their HydroClearTM PRO water recycling system line.
The excitement from the JAVELINTM reveal spilled into the evening as guests spent time in the ParkFest Sponsor Pavilion net- working with and learning from 25+ indus- try-leading vendors, experiencing demos and connecting with machine experts at five machine training stations, and enjoy- ing beautiful Minnesota fall weather on Park Industries patio where the company offered dinner, drinks, and games to wrap up the event.
Park Industries’ Director of Product and Growth, Scott Christman, expressed his grat- itude for the overwhelming support and turn- out at ParkFest. “This event was about more than just showcasing our products; it was about connecting with the heart of our indus- try, our partners, and our customers. We are
immensely proud to have brought together a community of like-minded profession- als to learn, grow, and celebrate our shared passion for stone craftsmanship. He adds, “The response to our new machine reveals, especially the JAVELINTM, has been phe- nomenal. We believe this innovation will significantly enhance the stone fabrication industry and lead to improved profitability for our customers.”
