Changing of the guard

Over the past few months I have visited several long term customers where the businesses have been handed down to the next generation (both men and women) and with that has come a renewed desire to utilize their systems as fully as possible.

In some cases this has been the passing to sons & daughters and is some cases son-in-laws have taken the reigns. It is a great thing to see this happening in an industry that many young people would consider a part of our industrial past but that is still a vibrant and essential part of our future, with foundries readily and eagerly embracing new technologies to help with both quality & speed of getting first article approval or short run quantities.

Welcome to a new generation of foundry visionaries

  Merida – A city with a rich Roman heritage

  Posted on 01 December 2020 in Blog

  Despite COVID and all its issues I was able to drive to the city of Merida in the region of Extremadura in Western Spain. It is about 400kn North West of Malaga not too far from the Portuguese border. I stayed in a hotel in the centre – the chain is well known for converting Convents and Castles into good hotels, they were fastidious about cleaning and social distancing. The food was good as well.
