Manufacturers looking for what’s around the curve at EASTEC 2011

Amongst continuing reports that manufacturing is beginning to put the recession behind hind them, many are setting their sights on what lies ahead. According to a recent study highlighted in IndustryWeek, purchasing managers have reported strong gains in new orders and production. That positive news caps 15 consecutive months of expanding manufacturing.

EASTEC 2011, the largest annual manufacturing event on the East Coast, will focus on helping those companies continue the forward momentum. This year’s event will focus on helping manufactures, whether they are global OEMs or local job shops, add new industries to their customer rosters and keep current clients satisfied.  EASTEC 2011 provides three days of straightforward insight into vital manufacturing technologies, progressive management strategies, the latest lean thinking, and clear advice on making your operations greener.

Whether it’s multi-tasking machine tools, waterjet cutting, EDM, or metrology, EASTEC 2011 allows attendees to make instant product comparisons and get advice their operations can use now. New markets, equipment, and management ideas that were unimagined just a few years back will also be offered to attendees at the May 17- 19^th event. The industries features at EASTEC 2011 include: Medical devices, Aerospace, Homeland security, Environmental, Alternative energy, and Rapid transit.
