Happy New Year!

Don't miss the December 2022/January 2023 issue of ISMR - you can read it on https://joom.ag/4L9d

In this issue of ISMR, we interview Stephen Morley, President of the Confederation of British Metalforming (CBM) and outgoing President of ICOSPA (the International Council of Sheet Metal Presswork Associations). He reviews 2022 market developments and casts an eye over the future (see page 18). We also visit Mazak’s European Technology Centre (ETC) during Discovery Week to meet its management and industry specialists as well as tour its factory and watch its new technology demonstrations (page 22).

This issue of ISMR also highlights fibre laser cutting, stamping and control technologies. Global aerospace markets for manufacturers are analysed on page 26. Economic forecasts; shifts; trends and opportunities across Latin America for manufacturers are also presented in our regional report on page 32.

Don’t forget to read our new research news section on page 16 or see our show previews for TIMTOS in Taiwan (page 36) and Southern Manufacturing & Electronics in the UK (page 40). Hot forming, control technologies and robotics also come under the spotlight in this issue.
