news & facts Vollmer appoint new UK managing director VOLLMER has now appointed Martyn Cross as the new managing director of the VOLLMER UK subsidiary. Working alongside longstanding managing director Peter Allen in the interim, Martyn has joined VOLLMER UK to build upon the strong growth already overseen by Peter Allen over the last 24 years. Since the end of 2012 Peter Allen has filled two roles as both managing director of VOLLMER UK and president of VOLLMER of America. With the recent construction of a new facility at VOLLMER of America and the high demand for technologically advanced solutions in the UK as well as the USA, Canada and Mexico, Peter has decided to fully focus on the exceptional potential of the North American marketplace. With Martyn Cross joining the VOLLMER UK team, the company will have a dedicated managing director with decades of expertise in the cutting tool manufacturing sector. Martyn served a mechanical apprenticeship in the 1970’s and has progressed his career from apprentice to applications engineer, on to positions as technical sales manager, production manager and subsequently director with many of the world’s leading tool and cutter grinding machine tool manu - facturers. Such is the expertise of Martyn; he has also spent time working as an R&D manager at a prominent UK cutting tool manufacturer. Upon Martyn’s appointment, joint managing director at VOLLMER UK, Peter Allen says: “We are delighted to appoint an engineer, manager and leader of Martyn’s caliber. Martyn’s industry knowledge, insights and reputation precede him. The experience that Martyn will bring to VOLLMER UK is second to none and his unfathomable relationships within the industry will certainly help to further enhance the position of VOLLMER in the UK.” “The VOLLMER brand is growing exponentially with the launch of a completely new suite of machine tools launched at GrindingHub last year. Not only is VOLLMER a full-line manufacturer of grinding, erosion and laser machine tools with a growing portfolio, but we have also introduced new brands and technologies to the group such as the ultraTEC ultrasonic deburring systems. To attentively support our customers in the UK and North America with the growing range of machine solutions, I have made the conscious decision after a lot of hard commitment to both subsidiaries, to gradually step away from the UK business and focus on the next chapter of my career with VOLLMER of America.” Peter Allen (left) hands over his position as managing director of Vollmer UK to Martyn Cross “After serving as the UK managing director for more than 18 years there will be a transition period where I will be introducing Martyn to our internal and external teams, our company structures and to many of our prestigious UK customers. I have little doubt that Martyn will build upon the growth the VOLLMER UK team is delivering and drive the company forward.” further information: www.vollmer-group.com GEFERTEC now wholly owned by the Berlin.Industrial.Group Effective immediately, B.I.G. Holding is the sole owner of GEFERTEC. In a joint decision with founding partners Tobias Röhrich and Georg Fischer, the Group has acquired their shares. B.I.G. Holding had already purchased the shares of EMAG (10 %) in June last year. “This gives GEFERTEC the necessary freedom of action to further expand and solidify its position in the growing market for 3D metal printing,” says Igor Haschke, managing director of GEFERTEC and owner of the Berlin.Industrial.Group. (B.I.G.). Demand for these machines is rising, particularly in the USA. GEFERTEC offers complete manufacturing systems for metal 3D printing in the Wire-Arc-Additive-Manufacturing (WAAM) process. Therefore the traditional gas metal arc welding is combined with special process expertise for the additive manufacturing of components, a robust machine system, integrative CAM software and process-related quality assurance. The robust process, high build rates and ease of handling wire as a feed stock make the process interesting for manufacturing medium to large components. further information: www.gefertec.de 24 no. 2, May 2023
fairs news & facts EMO Hannover 2023 focuses on current production technologies Joint booths keep production experts up to date Want to learn about the latest in production technology? Production experts to EMO Hannover 2023 will be doing just this in September. They can experience live and on site the latest trends at a total of four joint booths. These booths will be focusing on additive manufacturing, connectivity, open space cobot solutions and sustainability. Martin Göbel, director exhibitions at the EMO organizer VDW (Verein Deutscher Werkzeugmaschinenfabriken, or German Machine Tool Builders’ Association) in Frankfurt am Main, knows the value of a visit: “Nowhere else can production specialists experience the sector’s innovations so close up – presented in thematic packages over the entire process chain, and up to date at all times. So if you’re coming to EMO Hannover 2023 in September, you shouldn’t miss out on the joint booths.” Innovative 3D printing as a fixed constituent No matter whether aircraft construction, medical engineering, or hydrogen economy – additive manufacturing methods are growing in importance in production. And the business prospects are good: this was verified recently by a survey among the approx. 200 member companies of the Additive Manufacturing Working Group within the VDMA (Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau, or German Engineering Federation). Almost three quarters of these companies are expecting in the coming 24 months an upward trend in their business in Germany. Yet the technology can only utilize its full potential when it is integrated successfully in highly automated industrial process chains. How this works is demonstrated in the Additive Manufacturing Area. Here companies will be presenting pioneering concepts from the whole bandwidth of the additive process chain, whether direct and indirect 3D printing technologies, engineering materials, or rapid product development (RPD). Connectivity of production processes at a glance In digital production machines must be able to communicate with each other, irrespectively of their make, age, or controller. The Future of Connectivity Area therefore focuses on these processes. Here visitors will encounter new applications, automation processes, smart production, Industry 4.0, machine learning, predictive maintenance, IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), and many other aspects. And the editorial series Future of Connectivity will also be reporting on these subjects in the run-up to EMO Hannover. Humans and robots work hand in hand More and more companies are investing heavily in automation to maintain their productivity and competitive strength, to augment their resilience and versatility, and to keep pace with growing demands. For instance the number of new industrial robots installed in 2021 exceeded the 500,000 mark for the first time – a new record. Specifically cobots, or collaborative robots, are in high demand. They already now make up 7.5 % of all installed industrial robots, and this is an upward trend. The Open Space Cobot Solutions Area is therefore fully dedicated to the interactions between humans and industrial robots and their actual and potential applications. Manufacturers will be presenting to an international trade public their automation solutions based on cobots and their innovative use: grippers, image processing, measuring systems, software, industrial electronics, feed systems, and much more can be experienced up closely. Sustainability to underlie tomorrow’s production The declared goal of the 2015 Paris agreement is to limit the rise in mean global temperature to a maximum of 2° C. At the latest since then it has become clear: the subject of sustainability is seen as a challenge of global import affecting society as a whole. Among other intentions, the European Union has resolved as a result to render its economy and society carbon-neutral by 2050. The manufacturing industry too is feeling the considerable effects, and it sees itself faced with equally imposing challenges – and opportunities. At EMO Hannover 2023, the Future of Sustainability in Production Area provides the ideal environment for experiencing the latest solutions for tomorrow’s production. Here visitors can learn about the current trends in energy efficiency, the integration of renewable energies, circular economy, and lifecycle concepts – a fair highlight, not only with an eye to climate protection and reduced production costs in times of persistently scarce energy and raw materials. further information: www.emo-hannover.de no. 2, May 2023 25
