“It has been a tremendous show for us,” beamed Michael Miller, Vice President of Global Sales for Brush Research Manufacturing. “I have been doing trade shows for over 30 years, and this is one of the best shows I’ve ever exhibited at.” Although news stories about markets and manufacturing are often grim, fear and uncertainty haven’t tarnished the world of metalworking. “I know we keep reading gloom and doom about the economy,” Miller explained, “but the floor at the EMO show was full of vibrant buyers looking for a way to better manufacture their products.”
EMO Hannover 2011, the world’s premiere metal working trade fair, ended on September 24 after a marathon six-day run in Hannover, Germany. “The first day was exceptionally busy,” Miller reported, and set a quick pace where “the volume of attendees was good and the quality of the leads was great.” Joining Miller in the Brush Research booth were Ute Reinhardt, Klaus Krupp, and Herr Gruner of WKD, BRM’s longtime German distributor. Yakov Fridman, BRM’s distributor in Russia visited the booth on Day 2. “It was truly an international show,” Miller noted, and “we have seen attendees from many countries” who wanted to learn more about flexible honing and industrial brushes.
The motto for this year’s event, “More than Machine Tools”, underscored how large this tradeshow has become. For American manufacturers like Brush Research, EMO Hannover 2011 offered an opportunity to introduce new tools and showcase existing products to a global audience of industry executives and metalworking professionals. After traveling from its headquarters in Los Angeles, California to Hannover, Germany, BRM demonstrated how its successful line of Flex-Hone® tools are helping U.S. manufacturers to solve their specific deburring, edge blending, chamfer blending, and surface finishing problems.
The Brush Research booth also introduced BRM’s new NamPower™ line of professional-grade abrasive disc brushes and composite hub wheels for in-line machining and deburring systems. As many EMO visitors learned, there are three different disc brush styles (dot, turbine and hex-drive) to meet specific manufacturing challenges. Michael Miller also answered technical questions, reviewed drawings, and (as the photo above shows), explained the finer points of miniature deburring brushes.
