Sheetmetal fabrication and CNC machining subcontractor Inishowen Engineering, which has just celebrated its 25th anniversary, has dramatically increased the size of its production facility in County Donegal. It follows an €11 million investment in a new, 160,000ft² factory, which opened on the company's seven-acre site in Drumfries in early 2019.

Medium-sized sheet metal processing companies are resolutely tackling digitalization. But what can be optimized? How best to automate? And what should be networked? These questions can only be answered through expertise and experience. The roadmap for the future has to be developed within the framework of a cooperative partnership. Bystronic helps its customers to make profitable use of the opportunities presented by new technologies.

Bystronic will be demonstrating the Xpert 40 pressbrake with Mobile Bending Robot at Southern Manufacturing. The robot is available for feeding the press brake, turning it into a compact, automated bending cell for producing 3D sheet metal components.

New technologies offer a wealth of fabric for stories. The focus of the digital magazine Naratek is on telling these stories in an unexpected and visually rich manner. The initiator of the bilingual platform, the Swiss industrial company Bystronic, made a conscious decision to remain in the background.

Bystronic is advancing into a new customer segment. The Xpress offers concentrated bending technology at an attractive price-level. Thanks to the newly developed press brake, even users without prior experience achieve professional results.
