Liquidmetal® Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: LQMT), the world’s
leading developer of amorphous alloys and composites, participated in an
ENGEL hosted Liquidmetal Forum at its customer center in Stuttgart,
Germany on January 19th and 20th. The special event, showcasing
Liquidmetal’s technology and ENGEL’s injection molding machine,
attracted more than 100 attendees on both days of the event.
Approximately 50% of the attendees were not current customers of ENGEL
signifying the ability of ENGEL to attract potential new customers.
Each day started with presentations from ENGEL, Liquidmetal, and
Materion describing the overall manufacturing technology, equipment, and
materials. The presentations were followed by a lunch served to all
attendees and an afternoon demonstration by ENGEL, where Liquidmetal
parts were produced in a fully automated injection molding work cell.
During the afternoon process demonstration, individual panel of expert
sessions were held by ENGEL and Liquidmetal with customers who requested
one-on-one time to review their specific applications of interest for
the technology.
“This event was an extraordinary opportunity to introduce the technology
to such an excellent list of attendees. ENGEL did a fabulous job
attracting top notch customers and went through an enormous amount of
work to host the event in its beautiful Customer Center in Stuttgart,”
said Paul Hauck, Vice President of World-Wide Sales and Marketing. “The
outstanding ENGEL event confirmed we made a good choice establishing
manufacturing capacity in our Rancho Santa Margarita, California
Manufacturing Center of Excellence. We are ready to serve additional
business in California now as we work to broaden our manufacturing reach
globally through strategic partnerships.”
