- Raising skills and job satisfaction go together - February 22nd, 2010
My last piece on successful investment brought up some thoughts on the human consequences of change in the workplace and on the ever-advancing modernity in manufacturing. This is a deep issue. Many social movements have been founded specifically to resist the process and much social damage has also been inflicted by it.

- Maintenance - high or low - the choice is yours - January 26th, 2010
In many cases, as a platen or oven system starts to discolour and degrade under use – with dirt and process plastic and other materials – so the general reflectivity of the system will be compromised. This is itself should give us pause for thought. Like any machine – or any system at all - in addition to the constant useage, some maintenance will be required. Some downtime will be needed.
- Top Ten Visitor tips for the K 2010 exhibition Dusseldorf - Jan 25th, 2010
The K 2010 exhibition in Dusseldorf, Germany this autumn will be the event for the international plastics industry.

- Lose the Blanket - October 29th, 2009 by Frank Wilson
Once began the poet in his ode to Autumn. Busy people today, however, rarely have the chance to appreciate the passing of this season.

And, sadly, for some of us it also means checking out those rheumy aches and pains once more.

In some ways – as every blacksmith knows - heat work is a bit of a black art,’ says Frank. ‘But in many other ways, it is an extremely involving and evolving science: We are in a fortunate position in that Ceramicx has fostered relationships with Centres of Expertise and Universities such as the University of Limerick, who are all helping us play a key part in advancing and developing this new science. Based on that know-how and on solid scientific fundamentals we are able to go out and create new infrared heating products and heating systems for industry and the consumer alike’.
