Clean, safe lubrication technology by UNIST will be on display at the International Manufacturing Technology Show at Chicago's McCormick Place in just two short months. If you haven't made plans to attend the world's largest manufacturing technology exposition there's still time to get on board.

A visit to booth N-7260 in the Machine Components / Cleaning / Environmental Pavilion is your best opportunity to check out UNIST's complete line of metalworking MQL systems as well as the entire family of metalforming lubrication systems.

A conversation with UNIST application engineers, representatives and company executives is a great first step toward cost-saving improvements to your operations.

A walk around the show encounters a variety of UNIST systems on display and in operation at the exhibits of our OEM customers and others who successfully use our equipment every day.

Additionally, UNIST is introducing a REVOLUTIONARY new lubrication system during this year's IMTS exhibition. Watch your inbox and next month's Micro-Mail for more details!

See you in Chicago!

Environmentally responsible lubrication is more than a buzzword. UNIST was helping companies improve their environmental stewardship before it was sexy. By eliminating excess fluid's and lubricants companies become more environmentally responsible, but they also save a ton of money.

In a recent issue of Green Manufacturer, UNIST President Chuck Boelkins highlights some of the major considerations to fluid reduction in manufacturing facilities, explains how they impact the environment, and the bottom line.

According to a recent manufacturing research report, China is within 100 billion dollars of catching up to the United States in manufacturing output. There is speculation as to whether the two countries will change places by 2011, although previous data predicted this would already happen in 2009. Both market demand and currency valuation have played roles in China's growth, which many believe should be a wake up call to Washington to adjust trade policies in favor of US businesses.

Two of the most important organizations in manufacturing, The Association for Manufacturing Technology (AMT) and the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) are forming a strategic partnership to emphasize the importance of manufacturing to the US economy. These two organizations are lending their voices, resources and activities to this important objective, and will use the IMTS 2010 event to introduce their partnership.
