Makino’s 2007 Die Mold Expo will be held September 25-27, 2007 at the Auburn Hills, Michigan, Tech Center. The biannual Expo has become a major event for tool, die, and mold makers interested in cutting-edge technologies and techniques to improve their competitiveness.
The first day of the Expo will feature key industry leaders speaking about business improvement opportunities, including best-selling author Jeff Fox, IRN’s Chief Economist Erich Merkel, IRN’s Vice President Jud McKinley—who will speak about his experience with customer diversification, including the “new domestic” OEMs—and Thomas H. Klier, senior economist of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, who will discuss the changing structure of the U.S. auto industry and how it’s anticipated to impact tier 1 suppliers.
On the second and third days, Makino has organized a series of presentations on machining topics such as hardmilling and micromachining. In addition, there will be extensive machining demonstrations on 16 machines under power, and 20 select industry suppliers will also be exhibiting.
Makino’s Die/Mold Technology Center is located at 2600 Superior Court, Auburn Hills, Michigan. Register to attend by calling (248) 232-6200 or (800) 552-3288. Go online to [www.makino.com/expo].
