In this issue of ISMR, discover a selection of global trends, challenges and opportunities to help manufacturers stay ahead in 2023 (page 24).

As a key media partner at this year’s Blechexpo/Schweisstec in Stuttgart, Germany (7-10 November 2023), we also preview the event on page 47 as well as providing selected hall snapshots (starting on page 52). 

The manufacturing outlook, as well as industrial, monetary and fiscal policy, for the United States can be found on page 72. We also interview three international manufacturers (CLOOS, Produtech and YSM) on their strategic priorities, latest innovations, investments and philosophies in this issue. We profile AMADA’s new Global Innovation Centre (AGIC) in Japan (page 76) and outline some of TRUMPF’s latest major project initiatives on page 96. A selection of the latest global stamping innovations can also be found (in alphabetical order) on page 84. Tooling, robot welding and punching also come under the spotlight in this issue.
