CNC Technical Solutions History 


The company was founded by John A. Nappa in 2001 under the name CNC Engineering Solutions. CNCES as it was known then primarily focused on Controls Engineering Support Services and Applications Specific Technical Training which Mr. Nappa has a passion for. He has in fact spent his entire career which spans some thirty years working as a Controls System Engineer and as a Technical Instructor for major companies, such as Gleason Works in Rochester NY, American Axle in Buffalo NY and of course CNC Technical Solutions. 
  It’s during this period and with these companies that he had the ability to travel the manufacturing sector both domestically and Internationally, and had the privileged opportunity to get an almost global snap shot of manufacturing in multiple sectors including Automotive, Aerospace, Medical and the Food industry to name a few.   
 What he took from those experiences was clear, the manufacturing industry as a whole was evolving and the use of high tech machinery was exploding but the common problem that he continually heard when he talked to plant management was simple…. they had a lack of professionally trained and technically proficient staff. Bar none everybody seemed to have the same problem and there was a just an obvious lack of skilled labor available. What he was seeing is what’s now being referred to as a “The National Skills Gap”.  
 Based on those experiences in July of 2007 Mr. Nappa changed the company’s direction and Incorporated it.  The newly incorporated company was now known as CNC Technical Solutions Inc or CNCTS.  As CNCTS he shifted the company’s focus and designed a method of training that produced very effective debug and analysis technicians. Over the years the programs have evolved into the world class high level technical training programs that the company follows today.
