WELCOME

FROM THE EDITOR

^ ismr . net . @ ismrmagazine O ISMR magazine F ISMR magazine Y ISMR - International Sheet Metal Review
Under the International Monetary Fund ’ s ( IMF ’ s ) baseline forecast , growth is slowing from last year ’ s 6.1 percent to 3.2 per cent this year and 2.9 per cent next year ( downgrades of 0.4 and 0.7 percentage points from April ). The world , it says , may soon be teetering on the edge of a global recession and multilateral cooperation will be key in many areas .
We are experiencing “ the first truly global energy crisis in history .” We examine the implications of rising energy prices for manufacturing on page 32 of this issue . We also highlight a new , advanced production line for manufacturing presshardened components for the automotive industry on page 26 . You can also read our report from CECIMO ’ s General Assembly meeting in Edinburgh , which included forecasts for European machine tool production and policy debates on the future of manufacturing ( page 22 ).
We are also delighted to include our EuroBLECH Preview on page 37 of this issue with show introduction , visitor guide and selected hall snapshots of new product launches and technologies on display . Come and meet the ISMR team on its stand H92 in Hall 14 at EuroBLECH , the world ’ s largest trade exhibition for the sheet-metalworking industry . EuroBLECH takes place from 25-28 October 2022 in Hanover , Germany . Key focus areas at the show include automation , e-mobility , sustainable production and the digitalisation of manufacturing processes . Around 1,300 exhibitors from 39 countries are expected to present their latest developments across nine halls at the Hanover Exhibition Grounds .
This issue of ISMR also features punching case studies as well as a selected round-up of the latest new global stamping technologies ( page 76 ). We also examine economic and manufacturing trends and forecasts for the United States ( page 72 ).
Please send us your machine process or technology video links for the ISMR website at ismr . net and for ISMR ’ s YouTube channel , its LinkedIn account and new Facebook account . Please feel free to email me at sara @ in2publishing . co . uk with your thoughts .
We look forward to seeing you at EuroBLECH !
