Mario Murcia Castro, Principal Engineer at Baker Hughes Infor’s long-term partnership agreement with National Manufacturing Institute Scotland demonstrates our commitment to delivering high-value capabilities to the manufacturing sector, and we’re looking forward to showcasing the many benefits that smarter manufacturing can bring to industries here in Scotland and the wider world. Kevin Samuelson, Infor Chief Executive Officer We have made significant project gains with the embedded support of the Advanced Forming Research Centre working at our industrial pace. The Sheffield Modelling Team has delivered a set of accurate DES models along our commercial timeline that allows us to be very agile on some of the ‘what-if’ questions from key customers and stakeholders. Not only does this assist the recapitalisation project, but it is also beneficial for the wider future of the business. Gareth Barker, Chief Operating Officer, Sheffield Forgemasters Working with the Lightweight Manufacturing Centre has allowed us to tap into its composite capabilities and take our ACT Blade concept from design through to manufacture.
