Being an innovator doesn't just sound appealing, it pays well too. According to a new study conducted by Georgia Tech's Enterprise Innovation Institute, innovation can generate as much as a 14% profit margin increase.
Training is an important aspect of getting the most out of your equipment and software purchases.

Marking the halfway point of 2011, July is an opportune time to check in on business trends for the year. For mold makers, the results of the Summer AMBA 2011 Business Forecast Survey can help you do just that. Things are looking good as 78% of mold makers responded that business conditions were "Good/Excellent."
As conditions continue to improve for manufacturers, more companies are turning to automation to compete. Should you automate your welding operation? Considering these factors can help you decide.
