FMAC received a second national Azbee in the Technical Article category for the "Pulsed GTAW for Stainless Steel" article appearing in the April/May 2010 issue of TPJ-The Tube and Pipe Journal®, a publication for tube and pipe suppliers, manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and fabricators.
"The Azbee award for Technical Article is a reflection of the reputation that TPJ-The Tube & Pipe Journal has established since its inception in 1990, and of the editorial talent we have throughout the company and quality of the work we produce," said Eric Lundin, editor of TPJ-The Tube & Pipe Journal.

"With Green Manufacturer, our mission is to explore emerging trends that are sure to affect U.S. manufacturing. With TPJ-The Tube & Pipe Journal, we aim to share information that helps fabricators perform their jobs more efficiently."
