Successful Schleuniger Oktoberfest Celebration! On September 21, 2018, Schleuniger, Inc., a leading international manufacturer of high-precision wire processing machines, hosted an Oktoberfest themed open house at its headquarters in Manchester, NH.  Gem Gravure, Panduit and Telsonic Ultrasonics also exhibited at the event. Guests were greeted by enthusiastic Schleuniger employees dressed in Oktoberfest themed attire and were given a special Oktoberfest t-shirt and glass liter beer stein to commemorate the event and to help them get into the spirit! We kicked off the celebration by tapping two kegs, each with a different style of German beer, in our very own “Biergarten.” Guests enjoyed dining on a buffet of pretzels, brats and more, while listening to a live Oompah band! Many also participated in outdoor games, “Masskrugstemmen” (beer stein holding contests) and several raffles and giveaways throughout the day. Representatives from each of the exhibiting companies were on hand in Schleuniger’s large demo room to discuss applications, provide machine demonstrations, and explore the best solution for each visitor‘s needs.  Scheduled presentations by each company were held throughout the morning and early afternoon with an emphasis on achieving maximum performance and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). The presentations included: • Productivity Enhancing Solutions-Organize, Connect and Protect” presented by Panduit • “Ultrasonic Metal Welding Applications and Equipment Capabilities” presented by Telsonic Ultrasonics • “GEM’s Inkjet Printing and Inks” presented by Gem Gravure • “Latest Innovations in Wire Processing to Maximize Performance” presented by Schleuniger Building tours were also conducted in between each of the presentations. All who attended had a great time and were impressed with the level of information and education available to them during the event. Schleuniger would like to thank all attendees and partners who participated in the event and made it a huge success! . www.schleuniger.com WIRE NEWS November 2018 11
