Editor Technology Trip Offers Insight to
New Twists & Turns In the Sheet Metal
Fabrication Industry

Last September, Brad Kuvin, editor of METAL FORMING (USA), Jerry Cook, editor of METALWORKING PRODUCTION & PURCHASING (Canada), and José Roberto Gonçalves, director of MÁQUINAS e METAIS (Brazil) participated in a tour of Finn-Power manufacturing facilities and customers throughout Finland and Italy.

Hosted by Bob Kolcz, director, marketing & corporate communications, Finn-Power International, Inc., and numerous Finn-Power employees in both Finland and Italy, the editors visited a total of 10 customers to see the latest breakthroughs in sheet metal fabrication in operation. The visits to Finn-Power customers included both large and small companies and dramatically demonstrated that Finn-Power had the flexible manufacturing cell or system for companies of any size or budget.

This year's editor trip included a dinner at a Russian restaurant (below left) and a visit to the home of Finnish media mogul Markku Vartiainen (below right).
