​​​​​INDIANAPOLIS – Join Hurco at IMTS on Wednesday, September 12 at 10:00 a.m. (CDT) in room S-504BC for a seminar by Eli Crane, a former U.S. Navy SEAL and owner of Bottle Breacher.

Eli Crane turned his hobby of making bottle openers out of spent ammunition casings into a successful business. After he got a deal on the TV show Shark Tank, sales tripled and Eli knew he needed to have control of manufacturing to keep up with demand. After he evaluated many different brands, he chose Hurco due to its reputation as a solid CNC machine equipped with a control that is easy to learn and easy to use.

Wednesday’s seminar topics will include an overview of the challenges and freedoms that come with owning a small business, developing your mission, Eli’s experience on the reality show Shark Tank and Veteran advocacy. All are invited to attend – please ​register online. Visit Hurco.com/Breacher to learn more about Eli and his company.

Eli and his wife/business partner, Jen, will also be at the Hurco booth Wednesday and attend the Hurco 50th Anniversary Party Wednesday.

To celebrate Hurco's 50th Anniversary, stop by the Hurco booth (S-338319) to register for a chance to win a commemorative Bottle Breacher – a gift made on a Hurco by a Hurco customer.
