Stefan Eichler, the Director of Rimann, is well known on the Swiss market, particularly in microtechnology as specialist of the valuation of the machining residues by solid/liquid separation. Recently, his company has developed its activity in the treatment of air (liquid/ air separation) by selling Coral products and we could bet that Rimann will quickly be known on the Swiss market in this area too. After Prodex, it is also as a saxophonist that Stepan Eichler will be recognised. He (…)

The Fakuma 2014 went exceptionally well for Arburg. The Lossburg-based machine manufacturer was the only exhibitor to present the entire spectrum from additive manufacturing to injection moulding. The main focus was on the next step in the production efficiency strategy: the cost-effective production of plastic parts – from one-off parts, multiple-variant small and medium batches, through to mass-produced items. “The trade fair in Friedrichshafen has traditionally been an excellent (…)

It may be just over eighteen months away but planning for MACH 2016 is already well under way, with companies large and small already securing their spaces for the Exhibition. The MTA, which owns and runs the Exhibition, has brought forward the process of allocating the space on the floor. That will give companies from industrial sectors which have not traditionally been brought into the exhibition more time to get involved in Britain’s biggest industrial event. An area that has been (…)

The Medical Cluster and SFL are holding the first international conference at the interface between medtech and pharma on 30-31 of October 2014 in Zurich. Historically, there has been a clear dividing line between companies of the Medtech and Pharma industries. However, recent years have seen a trend towards the combined development of drugs, devices and in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) that encompass characteristics of both drugs and devices/IVDs. This two-day conference is a unique concept (…)

Micronora started yesterday and visitors can discover many microtechnology innovations. This morning, we put the light on a small French SME that presents amazing achievements in terms of micro-machining and micro-moulding. Vuillermoz Philippe SAS has developed an encapsulated micro screw for one of its Swiss customers. It is an essential element for an innovative system of high-end mechanical watch movement. A patent has been filed and is pending. Micromachining? It is certain. The (…)
