United Grinding Group symposium in Switzerland is a big draw

The United Grinding Group’s third symposium for the international grinding machine industry, held in Thun, Switzerland, in May this year, drew more than 1,400 visitors from over 40 countries. The Group showcased 30 machines at 14 stations which included five world innovations: Blohm Prokos XT, Jung JE600, Studer S141, Schaudt CrankGrind, and Ewag Laser Line Ultra. The program saw 154 technology presentations and 20 lectures by renowned experts.

The technology presentations offered in four different languages met with a high level of interest. These offered each participant the opportunity to discover specific advantages of the machine innovations or to discuss them in direct dialog with developers. "These presentations are unique", said one participant, "because in just a short time you can understand things that are very difficult to grasp through other information channels." The demonstration of the Schaudt CrankGrind crankshaft grinding machine, among others, impressed visitors with the advantages offered for the first time by a machine of this type.

"The Symposium is also a way of thanking our customers," commented Stephan Nell, CEO of the United Grinding Group AG.
