Open day for manufacturing businesses
Manufacturing businesses are invited to an open day at the new Renishaw Centre for Manufacturing Productivity, at the University of Greenwich at Medway, on Wednesday, November 26.
The centre will demonstrate the latest technology and manufacturing systems aimed at making businesses more competitive.
Centre manager Ian Cakebread says: “This is an opportunity to see how the centre can benefit your business with a range of practical training courses, and access to the latest tools and systems.”
The courses have been developed by Renishaw, one of the country’s largest engineering firms, which has managed to keep the majority of its manufacturing base in the UK due to the efficiency of its processes.
