Here are two MoldMaking Conference sessions you won’t want to miss:
Creating a Highly Effective and Scalable Moldmaking Business: Where Do You Start?
-
Isaac Trevino, Business Development, Best Tool & Engineering
-
Joe Cherluck, President, Best Tool & Engineering
If you've ever visited a clean and well-organized shop, a shop that has fully embraced lean, a shop where the people make you wish you worked there, you've probably left feeling a bit overwhelmed. "I wish my shop looked like this", you think to yourself, "but I wouldn't even know where to begin. You can't walk into our shop without stepping on a problem. Do I really have time to try and start something like this?" In 2019 Joe Cherluck, President of Best Tool & Engineering, reached a milestone when he was accepted into the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Program – a free "masters of business" that covers managing growth, money metrics, leadership, marketing, sales and negotiation. Overwhelmed with all the information, he didn't know where to start. Now a few years later, BTE has moved beyond the initial steps, but there's a long way to go. In a shop where until recently was still stepping around a pile of c-clamps on the floor, you will learn about BTE's decision-making process, the resources they've used, and journey towards a more sustainable future. Come learn the answer to the burning question, "Where do you start?"

OEMs are looking for partners who align with their corporate strategy of digitization. Come to this session to hear how the digital initiative works, the findings of an extensive DOE on mold sensoring and digitalization and the impact and benefits to OEMs, molders and mold builders.
