Even if a majority of the forecasts come true, machining industry is expected to give a significant push to the sagging global economy. Machine Tools market worldwide is projected to grow by US$40.1 billion, driven by a compounded growth of 6.2 per…
India definitely has a tremendous opportunity here to attract companies to set-up manufacturing operations in our country. Companies will now look for potential alternative locations to China that offer the right infrastructure, lucrative corporate governance policies, beneficial economic and trade policies, provide trained manpower and workforce, to relocate their set-up. It is going to impact their costs of operations and productions, delivery chains and mechanism, and also the quality of product. Which is why companies are going to be critically evaluative, extremely calculative and minutely discerning before making that decision. Many other competent countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, and…

Lubrication-free tribo-polymer iglidur I8-ESD enables the cost-effective manufacture of durable special parts with no minimum order quantity For safe and reliable production in the electronics and semiconductor industry, components are required that have electrostatically conductive properties. This is because even a small electric shock can destroy expensive production lines. igus has now developed a new stable material for the SLS method so that users can make their wearing parts with ESD properties flexibly and cost-effectively. The lubrication-free special parts made of iglidur I8-ESD can be printed and shipped within just few days. Wear-resistant parts in the electronics and semiconductor industry…
The coronavirus pandemic has turned into a watershed event. Most things are being looked at as pre-corona and post-corona. Every industrial sector is looking at the post-corona era with trepidation and uncertainty. Though most sectors may take quite a long time for recovering, the industrial lubricants market should recover comparatively sooner. Especially, in India things look brighter for the industry with a colossal market at its disposal. Asia-Pacific (APAC) has been the largest industrial lubricants market, on account of swift industrialisation in emerging economies such as India and China. In addition to this, modernisation of industrial machinery is predicted to…

Recycling is great for the environment, but it can be cumbersome, heavy on the pocket and requires a lot of space. Then there’s the resources needed to transport materials, which add to the cost and ironically, these are hauled in trucks that burn fuel. These are some of the main reasons why most people don’t bother with recycling, but there is a very simple solution that can take care of the problem – Trash Compactors. Staying Green with Trash Compactors Like every other measure for saving the environment, recycling must be implemented responsibly to maximize efficiency and production. Tons of…
