Client Spotlight | AXYZ
TenantBase helped AXYZ International find space for six CNC machines in 2016. Trade press later confirmed the exact relocation, and AXYZ is now part of AAG, having built over 10,500 machines.
This week our client spotlight is Larry Daignault, Southwest Sales Manager at AXYZ International Inc., a leading global manufacturer of CNC router systems and CNC knife systems. A CNC, or computer numerical control, router is a computer-controlled cutting machine used for cutting hard materials like wood, composites, aluminum, steel, plastics, and foam. TenantBase helped Larry find a new office space that accommodates six fully operational machines.
We spoke with Larry about the CNC industry, the importance of high quality customer service, and his love of boogie boarding in Orange County.
Update, 2026: Trade press later confirmed this exact relocation story: AXYZ's Southern California office moved from a space limited to three machines demonstrated one at a time due to power restrictions, to a larger Anaheim office capable of running six machines simultaneously, precisely matching this spotlight. AXYZ International is confirmed thriving today, now operating under parent company AAG alongside WARDJet and CNCShop, having built and supported over 10,500 CNC machines. Larry Daignault went on to serve as National Sales Manager at AXYZ before moving to his current role as Director of Business Development at Muratori Machines.
About AXYZ International Co.
AXYZ International is a global manufacturer of CNC router systems and CNC knife systems. They design and build their own CNC routers out of a factory in Canada, with sales and support offices globally to reach customers around the world. Manufacturing operations that have benefited from AXYZ technology include aluminum composites, sign and graphics, woodworking, plastic fabrication, point of purchase, metal fabrication, solid surface, and many more.
The Problem
Not everyone knows what a CNC router is. If you're not an expert in this niche industry, or haven't used the technology, it's easy to end up with a "knockoff" that breaks easily and increases costs over time. "The challenge is helping people realize the value of spending a little more money on a product which is better quality," said Larry. Many customers don't realize the difference between a specialized, professional machine and a lower quality alternative. "Spending money on a machine that doesn't do the job is a waste. It's better to do it right the first time."
The AXYZ Solution
One of the ways Larry and the team at AXYZ set themselves apart is by offering custom machines and services to customers, matching machinery to each customer's specific needs. AXYZ is also a world leader in panel fabrication systems, allowing them to provide unrivaled knowledge and expertise in this dynamic market, and more specialization than other companies.
"It can be expensive to start a new business! Make sure to have a healthy budget, a good business plan, and a forward thinking environment."
