Makino Announces Second Quarter Online Seminar Schedule
Mason, Ohio - February 2006 - Makino has announced its 2006 second quarter online seminar schedule. The seminars employ Makino's extensive experience to help shops of all types and sizes compete in the global marketplace, and are ideal for operations involved in the automotive, aerospace, micromachining, medical and die/mold industries.
"People tell us they like to be able to tune in for an hour to learn something new, without shutting down the shop," said Mark Rentschler, marketing manager at Makino. "That's why we went with the online seminar format. It's easy to attend, you can interact with the speakers, and we can archive the events for those who couldn't make the live event.
Seminar Concept
Makino's online seminars will concentrate on areas such as machine tool integration and automation, machine tool technologies and metalcutting processes. Shop efficiency, getting the most out of your machine tools, and many other processes will also be of focus.
Presentations will be given by Makino's application engineers, product managers, and guest speakers invited by Makino to discuss business and shop efficiencies. The events will be held free of charge to registered attendees.
