I'm so thrilled to be here. By the way, Felix, such a great explanation. Wonderful facility. You mentioned to me 2022 this place had holes in the ceiling was when you were first brought all you said there's no way that this could turn into a production facility. But it has approximately how many square feet are here and you even have a ghost house out on the outside where you're just bringing people in. Yeah, as it gets remodeled for people to spend time with you here. Exactly. So we we have 100,000 square foot here just for the molding facility. Overall, in Rhode Island, we operate 350,000 square feet. The other facilities will take a look at later. This campus was an old distribution center of plastic silverware like plastic plates and we bought the building. It was absolutely in shambles. Honestly. There were no windows in the building. There was no light in the building. And within six months, our facilities team as well as the technical team around Joe who you met. They really, really pulled out the state-of-the-art facility. It's a huge investment into our future, right? Right now we operate 42 molding machines here today, but you'll see later. We have room for about 190 that we can operate here. And that building will serve as the entire Americas for a very long time. That's super cool. And I can't wait to show the audience the amount of space that you have here. Is it OK if I steal the microphone from you? Absolutely. You guys love technology, right? OK, I know that answer is yes. Yep. We love technology. I see another young man over here actually working on some machines. This can't be the same joke. And are they cloning you here? They are cloning me. Well, sometimes when we get the best of something, we want multiples of that best, don't we? And that thing seems to be you really appreciate that. Absolutely. All right, We're looking around here. Our audience loves technical. I see some robot sides going. I see some. In fact, I was standing there just a second ago and the plastic fell and kind of scared me a little bit. So you're putting in. Work over here. What are we making and what are these machines capable of doing Absolutely. So these are larger machines. These are our 2470 albergues 110 ton machines. The ones we saw previously were out what 38 ton 270 hobergs. This is a good example of our ECU and our E4 chain. So these are E2 links make coming off of this machine here actually the technician just starting this up now that's why it's actually a red bin there. Red bin indicates it's not being qualified and quality yet once it turns green when it stick around the work order. Then the Gray bin goes there, so that means it's running production. So right now these two are in qualification process. This one here is our E4E4. Sorry, yes, E2 link. That's our E4. This is our E2 link. And this is a combination of a link and a crossbar that's molded on another machine, which makes our energy chain. I could show you example of that. Ohh, I gotta see this. Ohh, this is mine now. Is that OK? Yeah. Can I just kind of throw this over my shoulder and do the rest of the tour with this thing? Absolutely. That's a standard cable carrier, but one of thousands of configurations that we make. And I guess there's so many configurations. I I'm still learning myself. I've only been with the company 2 years, but there are a lot of combinations. And, you know, we've been making all those configurations here. We change out the molds daily depending on the quantity, and that's really the most challenging. Thing is, there's a lot of inserts and technical advancements of these tools have perfect Joe. Is that what keeps you so young, by the way? Is it you're still learning? I mean, two years and you're still learning every day. That's why you're so young, isn't it? I've been around plastics for 30 years, but two years here? Impossible. Come on, give me that microphone back Forever young.

Towards a more collaborative future for injection moulders It is a well-known fact within the industry that collaboration between engineers and machine operators has not always been seamless. We refused to accept this as the norm. Through a comprehensive collaboration with ENGEL, our intensive exchange of insights led us to pinpoint the essential factors for optimizing an injection moulding workflow. The outcome of this collaboration between ENGEL and SIMCON is concisely summarized in our white paper “A Link to the Future” for your perusal. https://hubs.li/Q02Nmpt_0 #PlasticsInnovation #SIMCON #SimulationSoftware #CADMOULD #VARIMOS #InjectionSimulation #InjectionMoulding #AdvancedSimulation #ENGELmachines

Finding these taps to go with my MicroDynamics USA CNC mill has been a game changer for us BetterCNC. I had never ran a tap so fast in my career. We tap most holes now at more than 1500RPM and some cases over 3000RPM depending on the scenario. In my quest to find and use the best tools out there as our standard tooling, the OSG XPF tap series was one of the first finds I made where I had decided right away that this is the tap we will use going forwards. This tap is mind-boggling fast. As a small shop, it's choices like this that help us keep up and stay competitive. #cncmachining #manufacturing
