Renishaw wins fourteenth Queen’s Award for laser-based tool recognition system

Renishaw plc, a global engineering technologies company, is pleased to announce that it has received a Queen’s Award for Enterprise 2011 in the Innovations category, the company’s fourteenth Queen’s Award since its formation in 1973, and its fifth in just eight years. This Award has been granted for the development of the highly innovative TRS2 laser-based non-contact broken tool detection system which is used for detecting broken or missing cutting tools on computer numerically controlled (CNC) machining centres.

The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise are the UK’s most prestigious awards for business performance, which recognise and reward outstanding achievement by UK companies. For Renishaw, which earns some 95% of its sales revenues overseas, the international credibility of the Awards is also very important.

Said Sir David McMurtry, Renishaw’s Chairman and Chief Executive, “It is always very special to have our commercial and technological achievements recognised by a highly respected independent assessment process. This latest Queen’s Award should be a source of great pride for our staff around the world who regularly turn great ideas into a successful commercial reality, from design and manufacture, through to marketing and sales. At a time when we are also seeking to recruit over 230 talented individuals into our UK operations, this Award also gains us additional credibility in the eyes of potential new employees.”

The TRS2 broken tool detection system is widely used within machining operations in the automotive and consumer electronics sector. In contrast with previous systems, the TRS2, which incorporates a laser transmitter and receiver in a single housing, is positioned on only one side of a cutting tool to analyse reflected light patterns and thus determine tool condition. The product can assess the conditions of a variety of tools, with diameters as small as 0.2 mm, at a range of distances. Benefits to users include more accurate assessments of tool condition and the elimination of the problems caused by broken tools in terms of scrap, re-work and machine downtime.

Frost & Sullivan Excellence in Globalisation Award Conferred on ESAB

ESAB Commended for its Global Successes in Arc Welding Equipment and Filler Metals Market

The 2011 Frost & Sullivan Global Excellence in Globalisation Award in Arc Welding Equipment and Filler Metals Market is presented to ESAB Holdings Ltd (ESAB).

“Regional customisation, a broad portfolio of high quality products, coupled with timely service, are some of the factors that have underpinned ESAB’s position as one of the most trusted brands in the global arc welding equipment and filler metals market,” notes Frost & Sullivan Program Manager Archana Chauhan “A strong focus on customer satisfaction and product customisation, has boosted customer productivity, while underlining ESAB’s competitive advantage.”
ESAB’s global approach for success is: ‘Localisation is the new Globalisation’. The effective implementation of this strategy has helped the company increase its global footprint. ESAB has strategically planned its global expansion. It has leveraged lower manufacturing, operational and labour costs in low cost regions to produce premium quality products. It is thus able to offer clients high quality, yet cost-effective, products.
It has upgraded its manufacturing facilities in India, China and Latin America to optimise on the growth potential in these regions. At the same time, significant R&D investments in the major regions have enabled product customisation according to specific regional requirements. The company constantly seeks to enhance its already extensive product portfolio across global markets. It also focuses on offering improved customer service and increasing investments in regional R&D centres to fulfil diverse, region-specific customer requirements. ESAB is the only global supplier that has this diverse geographic R&D and process support footprint.
ESAB has built a well-structured organisation that supports easy technology transfer and communication within the company. It has highly trained teams consisting of local employees with an experienced local manager, for each region. This promotes customer loyalty and improved market awareness of each region. Products and technologies developed at the lead R&D centre in Europe can be easily transferred to manufacturing sites around the world. This allows ESAB to support the global expansion ambitions of its customers. In addition, various regional R&D sites leverage its specialist capabilities to become the centres of excellence for the globe. This reduces costs and improves product development time.
“ESAB is growing its presence in markets such as Russia whilst also venturing into regions such as CIS, Turkey, Romania, Australia, Africa and Bulgaria,” adds Ms Chauhan.  “This will allow the company to rapidly meet the needs of customers, worldwide.”
Regular acquisitions have enabled the company to strengthen its portfolio of welding technologies across the globe. For instance the acquisition of Russian welding filler metals giant, Sychevsky in 2011, helped ESAB consolidate its footprint in the region.
“The company’s ability to look beyond products has helped it develop the new benchmark in hybrid laser arc welding called HybrioTM, develop the soon to be launched ICETM process which will
revolutionise sub arc welding and SATTM, the Swift Arc Transfer process that will help ESAB move beyond the commodity game,” concludes Ms Chauhan.  “The company continues to innovate in this regard and has also introduced various training programmes to enable clients to optimise the use of their welding products.”
“It is key to allow regional entities to be representative of their business and social environments whilst conforming to a well defined and clear global brand image and a consistent customer value proposition that combines the best of local and global,” comments Nazmi Adams, Global Head of ESAB’s consumables business. “Critically, ESAB has succeeded in developing a truly international senior leadership team with a diverse technical base”.
The Excellence in Globalisation Award is presented to the company that has excelled in the following criteria: processes a strategic global footprint, leverage of global assets, global integration of processes/systems, enhanced global value to customer and exhibits a global perspective (sees world as a global community).

Frost & Sullivan Commends ESAB for its Dedication to Customer Value Enhancement

The 2011 Frost & Sullivan Global Customer Value Enhancement Award in Welding Filler Metals Market is presented to ESAB Holdings Ltd (ESAB).

“Leveraging its global presence and upgrading existing technology and innovation to widen its scope of application has helped reinforce ESAB’s leadership of the welding filler metals market, with the highest global market share  of 14.7 percent in welding consumables” notes Frost & Sullivan Program Manager Archana Chauhan. “Superior product quality standards, competitive pricing and outstanding customer support services have enhanced customer loyalty, making ESAB one of the most trusted brands in the welding filler metals market, globally.”
The company believes in the strategy of ‘Localisation as the new Globalisation’. It uses this strategy to meet the varied needs of customers across different regions.
ESAB has its own R & D centre in each region, which develops technologies suited to local customer needs.  Factories established in lower cost regions ensure cost-effectiveness, while maintaining high standards of product quality.
ESAB implemented a global segment marketing structure that helped it to build strong relations with end-users by delivering industry-specific, customised products and solutions that meet all their requirements. Offices across 80 countries with 26 manufacturing centres enable such product customisation, meeting the needs of varied end–user industries. As part of the focus on the energy segment, ESAB developed a comprehensive range of products for the Offshore segment that allows it to meet more stringent performance specifications which appeals to customers as evidenced by the recent seminars to the Asian offshore customers. In another example, ESAB developed a strong range of products and offers to the rail repair industry which makes it well placed to exploit the growth in this sector in developing markets.
In 2009, ESAB set out to transform itself from a product centric company to a customer focused company to ensure that customer needs drive its development and service agendas. This has made ESAB the preferred partner in many segments. It has built a strong level of trust and brand image amongst its customers by focusing on the customer’s need to thrive in a competitive environment. An understanding of weld properties such as structural integrity and consistency meant that ESAB was selected to provide its newly developed seismic-certified products to build the new Freedom Towers in the USA.
The company boasts an extensive product portfolio. Over the last 18 months, it introduces at least 55 new consumables products of which about 20 were for the nuclear industry and 15 for the pipe and offshore industry. Its new high strength steels are designed to meet the customer needs for lighter materials. In addition, it has been widening its application scope for its non–copper coated welding wires that provides superior welding properties with less spatter, lower fumes and much lower tip wear and robotic down time. The higher productivity of the AristorodTM makes it a favourite amongst automotive and transport customers who face ongoing cost challenges. The new low silica wires are also proving very popular amongst customers who wishes to eliminate costly steps in their production processes.
“Moreover, novel offerings such as the new ICETM submerged arc welding process will dramatically improve productivity and energy efficiency for customers,” adds Ms Chauhan “It is this approach that enhances customer value and sets ESAB apart from its competitors on a global basis.”
All ESAB products in the welding filler metals market are continuously tested in chemical, physical and environmental conditions at every process stage, before being delivered to the customer.
“The company’s well organised regional centres and established operational responsibilities have enabled ESAB to provide timely service – whether product delivery or customer support,” concludes Ms Chauhan.  “Extensive training provided by the company, both to its employees and customers have aimed at increasing domain knowledge.”To support its service offer, ESAB revamped its European supply chain infrastructure to improve its service delivery at reduced costs.”
“As welding products became more commoditised we had to differentiate ourselves and our core strategic intent was to become the most customer focused welding company globally, “ comments Brendan Colgan, CEO of ESAB Holdings. “I am pleased that we are delivering on this strategy.”
The Frost & Sullivan Award for Customer Value Enhancement is presented to the company that has demonstrated excellence in implementing strategies that proactively create value for its customers with a focus on improving the return on the investment that customers make in its services or products. This award recognizes the company's inordinate focus on enhancing the value that its customers receive, beyond simply good customer service, leading to improved customer retention and ultimately customer base expansion.

HARTING is the first company to be certified for social responsibility
Ceremonial awarding of the certificate by DQS

Espelkamp, 14.07.2011 ---  As a corporate citizen the HARTING Technology Group is consistently aware of its social responsibility (CSR) and has anchored this position firmly in its company philosophy. Now the company's management system for the awareness and assumption of societal responsibility has been certified by DQS - a project that is unique in Germany to date.
 
"It is a great honor for us, as the first German company,to receive the certification on the awareness of our societal responsibility from DQS. We made a very conscious decision to take this step, as we would like to set a standard with regard to how companies and organizations can provide information on their societal responsibility. We regard auditing by an independent third party as an appropriate approach. I would like to thank Michael Drechsel, the Managing Director of DQS, that were have been able to jointly initiate and successfully implement this project," as Dietmar Harting, President and personally liable partner of the HARTING Technology Group summed up the significance of the certificate for his company on the occasion of the award ceremony.
 
Michael Drechsel, DQS managing director, commented on the commitment of the Technology Group as follows: "Once again, HARTING has taken the lead. The certification represents a key step in the direction of higher transparency with regard to the awareness of societal responsibility in German companies. I am certain that other companies will follow in the near future."
 
In obtaining the certification on societal responsibility HARTING is primarily concerned with taking account of increasing customer demands for ethically correct behavior in the supply and value creation chain in the best possible manner. In view of the multitude of individual customer behaviorcodices and the high time and cost input required for the specific individual implementation, HARTING regards the certification as an active step towards further improving customer care and focus.
 
In assuming societal responsibility the HARTING Technology Group orients its position to ISO 26000. This international standard has been drawn up as a set of guidelines and is not certifiable. Consequently, DQS examined and inspected conformity with the core topics of ISO 26000 and issued the certification according to the Austrian ONR 192500 regulations, as well as the Spanish RS 10 specification, as both have implemented the contents and core topics of ISO 26000 as a certifiable management system.
 
At HARTING the commitment to responsible thinking and acting extends far beyond purely economical standpoints and integrates the needs of individual employees. In the assembly area, for example, workplaces are geared to employee requirements by way of cardboard engineering. The prototype of a workplace is modeled with cardboard box elements and improved until it is fully compatible with the natural flow of employee movements and the qualitative demands of the respective processes. Additional in-house measures such as HARTING's idea management or the awarding of successful improvement processes within the context of the HARTING Learning and Improvement Systems (HARlis) augment and expand the course of continuous improvement.
 
Moreover, environmental and climate protection have been integrated as well defined elements of every day company activities at the HARTING Technology Group since 1996. Improving energy efficiency and environmentally friendly business and manufacturing practices are part and parcel of the company's philosophy. HARTING recently received the official acknowledgement as "Climate Protection Company" by the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce (Deutsche Industrie- und Handelskammertag (DIHK) that bestowed the award in connection with the partnership for climate protection, energy efficiency and innovation involving the Federal Environment Ministry, its climate protection initiative as well as the Federal Ministry of Economics.
 
With this project, both partners, HARTING and DQS, have entered new territory and taken an initial step in the direction of better transparency among all partners in terms of societal responsibility. Both partners are aware of the fact that this is the beginning of a long road. Like every other process, establishing socially responsible ways of acting successfully will only be possible through continuous improvement. Consequently, DQS will once again be a guest at HARTING in 2012 in order to audit the developments and progress at the HARTING Technology Group.
