Annual job shop business meeting 2015 - second operations

• Sector: Job Shop Business Meeting
• Location: Yamazaki Mazak, Worcester
• Attendees: AILU members and all laser job shop owners

 

 

 

About this meeting

The annual ‘JS’ series of business meetings are designed to be of value and interest to laser job shops. In so doing, they facilitate trust between businesses that compete, in order for them to work together on topics of common interest or concern.

The strength and the benefits of the job shop group grows with the number of members we have and, as we did last year, we are inviting laser Job Shops who haven’t yet attended to come along and see for themselves the benefits of belonging to a friendly group of competitors.

The focus theme this year is Second Operations (for example, machines to improve edge and surface finish including blasting, rumbling and graining).
