Dear Friends,

Regrettably, our email server has been down since the afternoon of Thursday, January 19th. Hardinge employees in the United States have not been able to send or receive emails since that time. Our technicians are working on the problem around the clock and we hope to have it resolved soon.

We will be switching to a temporary system during the morning of Tuesday, January 24, 2012. This will allow us to send emails and to receive emails sent to us after we switch over using Hardinge's firstname.lastname@hardinge.com format. We will not have access to any emails sent to us between the time the system failed till the switch over point. Once our own server is repaired, we will be able to retrieve those emails.

We apologize for any inconvenience to you. If there is anything you need addressed immediately, please call us at our general number, 607 734 2281, or any direct number of our departments or employees.

We thank you for your patience.

Best Regards,

Richard L. Simons
President/CEO
