The lectures were very well received, and simultaneous German to English and English to German translations were provided.

Udo Stolz, Gleason’s vice president of worldwide sales, says that “We typically showcase our products and services at trade shows throughout the year, throughout the world. Given the number of new technologies that Gleason has launched in recent months we did not want to wait until the next major trade show to introduce them to our customers. The overwhelming response in terms of customer attendance and the strong positive feedback we have received tells us that we made the right decision. As we displayed advanced technologies for nearly every major gear production technology, it certainly reinforced our company’s position as a total gear solutions provider.” Gleason is a world leader in the development, manufacture and sale of gear production machinery and related equipment.
