Editors Choice Amtek Plastics Limited re-branded to Amtek Plastics UK Business Announcement – TTI Group Ltd The UK manufacturing sector has seen many changes over recent years and decades, but the one main trend we have experienced at Amtek over the past few years is the passion for companies to bring production back to the UK. We have seen this trend escalating especially over the last 18 months, and as a business, we are proud to be British, and proud being part of the UK manufacturing sector. With this in mind, we have re-named and re-branded the business to Amtek Plastics UK. We have helped out clients and new customer alike, to re-shore their current tooling and manufacture back from the Far East for us to manufacture their products and components here in the UK. This has removed the anxiety that these businesses have typically had when sourcing off shore.

For many years the heat treatment companies owned by Aalberts Industries N.V. have operated as a Group, cooperating in business and sharing people and best practice. However, this relationship, and strength as one of the world’s largest heat treatment groups is not widely known. Therefore it was decided, by realising all possible synergies and levering the whole heat treatment expertise and resources within the corporate group, to unite the European business under one strong name. Starting January 1st 2016 all 27 heat treatment plants in Europe will become Hauck Heat Treatment. www.hauckht.com SMC Releases easy to wire pressure sensor with m12 connector for general fluids SMC has launched the PSE570 Series to meet increasing demand for a general fluid pressure sensor that is easy to connect and robust enough to withstand high proof pressure and withstand abrupt surges.
