Read the March issue of ISMR

Read the March 2024 issue of ISMR on https://joom.ag/ZkAd – it will be distributed at STOM-Tool in Poland as well as Global Industrie in France. In this issue, we outline trends and technology shifts in global industrial fastener markets (page 22). We also analyse growth patterns in global medical device markets for sheet metal manufacturers (page 30) and highlight hydroforming’s increasing popularity as a manufacturing method (page 34).

Machine tool markets, trade projections and industrial activity in France are chronicled on page 38. A selection of the latest new global fibre laser cutting innovations in the market is on page 50. You can also read our show previews of MACH 2024 (page 26) and Wire and Tube (page 44). Surface finishing, shipbuilding and digitalisation also come under the spotlight.

We are very pleased and proud to celebrate ISMR’s 25th anniversary this year. We wish to celebrate this milestone event with our readers, supporters and advertisers and would like to thank you all for your support over the years. Please email any memories or particular highlights that illustrate sheet metal’s evolution over the years along with your industry views and key milestones to us on [email protected]     

We hope to catch up with you at STOM-Tool in Poland or Global Industrie in France!
