WELCOME

FROM THE EDITOR

Happy New Year !
In the December 2022 / January 2023 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 ( page 36 ) and Southern Manufacturing & Electronics ( page 40 ). Robotics and rollforming also come under the spotlight in this issue .
Despite headwinds such as supply-chain issues ; skyrocketing energy prices ; Russia ’ s invasion of Ukraine ; pandemic outbreaks and rising inflation levels , the global sheet-metal industry has shown itself to be dynamic and flexible . It continues to innovate and focus on improving productivity and processes , embracing new technologies and strategies for success .
This issue of ISMR will be distributed at the SteelFab exhibition in Sharjah , UAE , from 9-12 January 2023 . Come and meet the ISMR team at the show in Hall 5 on booth 3055 !
