The world’s most advanced research and innovation hot forging platform is opened this March at the University of Strathclyde’s Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC).
FutureForge is a world-unique platform for hot forging innovation with advanced industry 4.0 capabilities that enables companies from overseas to connect in real-time with the AFRC remotely and benefit from the skills and expertise of its people, along with the ground-breaking R&D equipment. The platform provides a safe and secure data rich research arena in which the forging industry can de-risk the development of new products, processes, and technologies for easier adoption

The Engineering Technology Group (ETG) has made it a double whammy by becoming ISO: 9001 and ISO: 14001 certified. As the UK’s leading machine tool and turnkey solution provider, ETG has implemented the global standards to build upon its already robust business framework whilst demonstrating its commitment and compliance to environmental and quality standards. The Wellesbourne manufacturing experts have implemented an integrated Quality & Environmental Management System (QEMS) for a multitude of reasons – all of which will benefit both ETG and its clients. ETG is now compliant with BS EN ISO:9001:2015 and BS EN ISO:14001:2015 ETG raises the standard with ISO certification
and its QEMS system is now fully integrated with all internal processes, creating one
cohesive management system. www.engtechgroup.com
