Houston, TX. The Offshore Technology Conference is the world’s foremost event for the development of offshore resources in the fields of drilling, exploration, production, and environmental protection. Attendees from all over the world, including 110 different countries make the trip to Texas for the conference. From May 6-9, people who visit the conference will have access to the leading technology, equipment exhibitions and networking opportunities.
There are plenty of reasons to attend the OTC; from learning the latest developments in technology, to the opportunity to meet new people in your field or network with others who share the same goals and interests. More than 80,000 people attend the event annually. You can also meet with perspective clients, metal manufacturers or others interested in your business or products.
Here are a few reasons listed on the OTC website on why you should think about attending.
We’ll be in booth #857, and we are going to be there representing and showing the MG plate roll line. We hope to see some new faces as well as some old colleagues while at the conference. Stop by and take a look at our great metal fabrication machinery to help you in your business. We’d be more than happy to meet you and talk.
Metal-working companies who need to optimize their production look for a machine that can pre-bend and roll their metal efficiently to produce the products they in turn sell. We carry a 4 roll hydraulic plate bending machine and a 3 double pinch plate bending machine which both offer great benefits. The 4 roll machine offers great precision, productivity, versatility as well as speed, safety and ease of operation. For companies in the fabrication industry, they need top-quality machinery in order to maximize production and profits.
Here’s a look at some of the benefits of using a 4 roll plate machine and why you should consider it for your manufacturing process.
Speed – The most accurate bends come from the 4 roll machines. Our model “MH” has both upper and lower rolls, which are hydraulically powered to grant minimum friction and a precision rolling. Even when the machine is at maximum capacity, the machine will roll with precision, allowing for more production.
Accuracy – The rolls operate in such a way to form an accurate pre-bent and rolled part. Pre-bending on the three-roll machine requires a downward tilt as plate is fed in the machine. In a four-roll machine a horizontal load feed level for pre-bending is used, which allows motorized feed tables to feed the plate without having to re-position the material.
Ease Of Use – For three roll machines, an operator pre-bends both edges and then rolls the part. Four-roll machines do not require such operation. Instead, the four-roll machine is more efficient. Less operator skill means less chance for error, but more importantly, more time for production and cost saving.
Plate rolling has really taken off recently in the manufacturing sector and a demand for plate rolling machines is high. Consider a four-roll machine from C Marshall Fabrication Machinery, Inc. For jobs large and small, we have the machines to help you become more efficient.

Plate bending machines: Lengths with multiple shapes
The optimization of the productive process leads companies to review their production phases and, where possible, cut down output time and costs. For example, in the construction of large tanks, the use of long plate bending machine helps to reduce further processes, such as welding, yet keeping a high quality standard.
In a period in which the economic crisis is influencing the markets worldwide, MG in Fossano (Cuneo), with over 50 years’ experience, records an increasing demand for big plate and section machines. With its productivity of 2, 3 and 4 rolls plate bending machines, special machines, section bending machines with accessories, MG can satisfy all demands from a minimum length of 20” to a maximum of 27”, and for a thickness from .040” to 12”. Normally plate bending machine inquiries are from 40” to 10’ length; however, lately the trend seems to be towards longer machines – considerably longer from 12’ to 27’.
Massimo Roccia, president of MG
“It’s basically – says Massimo Roccia, President and Co-owner – a range of machines dedicated to the constructions of big tanks for the transport and storage of fluids and fuels.”
This tendency meet the need to optimize the various processes in the realization of the final product – to bend a longer piece means reducing weld joints, thus, saving time and money.

Manufacturing in the U.S. expanded more than forecast in January, reaching a nine-month high and showing the industry is starting to improve.
The Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing index climbed to 53.1 last month from December’s 50.2, the Tempe, Arizona-based group’s report showed today. Readings above 50 signal expansion. The figure exceeded the highest estimate in a Bloomberg survey of 86 economists. The median forecast was 50.7.
Stocks extended gains after the report showed gains in orders, production and factory employment after a fourth-quarter acceleration in consumer purchases and a rebound in business spending. The housing recovery and stabilization in overseas markets indicate factories may keep adding to growth in the world’s largest economy this year.
“Manufacturing is on the mend,” said Brian Jones, senior U.S. economist at Societe Generale in New York, who projected a reading of 52. “Things are getting better as we begin the year.”
The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index climbed 0.8 percent to 1,509.7 at 10:47 a.m. in New York.
Another report this morning showed hiring increased in January after accelerating more than previously estimated at the end of 2012, evidence the U.S. labor market was making progress even as lawmakers quarreled over the federal budget.
Payrolls rose 157,000 following a revised 196,000 advance in the prior month and a 247,000 surge in November, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington. The revisions added a total of 127,000 jobs to the employment count in November and December. The jobless rate increased to 7.9 percent from 7.8 percent.
Estimates for the January ISM gauge in the Bloomberg survey ranged from 49.2 to 52.5.
“While we’re off to a great start” to the year, “we just have to see how things materialize,” Bradley Holcomb, chairman of the ISM factory survey, said on a conference call with reporters. “We’re not out of the woods yet.”
Today’s report showed the ISM’s production index increased to 53.6 from 52.6. The new orders measure rose to 53.3, the highest since May, from 49.7.
The employment gauge increased to seven-month high of 54 from 51.9 in the prior month.
The measure of orders waiting to be filled fell to 47.5 from 48.5. The inventory index climbed to 51 from 43. A figure higher than 50 means manufacturers are building stockpiles. A gauge of customer stockpiles rose to 48.5 from 47.
The index of prices paid increased to 56.5 from 55.5.
Manufacturing, which accounts for about 12 percent of the U.S. economy, was at the forefront in the early stages of the recovery that began in June 2009.
Figures yesterday showed the MNI Chicago Report’s business barometer rose to 55.6 in January, the highest since April, after 50 in December, signaling business activity picked up.
Elsewhere, U.K. manufacturing expanded in January for a second month. A gauge of factory activity eased to 50.8 from a revised 51.2 in December, Markit and the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply said in London today.
In the euro-area, manufacturing continued to shrink. Markit’s gauge rose to 47.9 last month from 46.1 in December.
Chinese manufacturing expanded in January, validating the nation’s reluctance to add to policy stimulus amid increasing inflation concern.
The Purchasing Managers’ Index was 50.4 in January compared with 50.6 in December, the National Bureau of Statistics and China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said today in Beijing as they more than tripled the number of companies surveyed. A separate gauge from HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics covering fewer businesses rose to a two-year high of 52.3 from 51.5.
Earlier this week, a Commerce Department report showed business investment in equipment and software climbed at a 12.4 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter, the best performance in more than a year, after a drop the prior quarter.
Caterpillar Inc. (CAT), the world’s largest maker of construction and mining equipment, is among manufacturers expecting an improving outlook.
“In the United States, we’re becoming increasingly optimistic,” Michael DeWalt, a spokesman for Peoria, Illinois- based Caterpillar, said on a Jan 28 conference call with analysts. “We expect U.S. housing industry to help the economy in 2013.”
An improving housing market is also helping manufacturers such as DuPont Co. (DD), the biggest U.S. chemical maker by market value. Rising demand for plastics used in autos helped the Wilmington, Delaware-based company to report fourth-quarter earnings that exceeded analysts’ estimates. DuPont also said sales in 2013 will climb to $36 billion from $34.8 billion.
“The U.S. is experiencing a weak recovery with bright spots and pent-up demand for housing and autos,” Chief Executive Officer Ellen Kullman said on a Jan. 22 earnings call.
Consumer purchases grew at a 2.2 percent pace in the fourth quarter, up from 1.6 percent in the previous three months, as Americans bought more durable goods including automobiles. A plunge in defense outlays and slower stockpiling led the economy to contract at a 0.1 percent annual pace in the final three months of 2012.
Automobile purchases also may support factory production this year. November-December was the best back-to-back showing for car- and light-truck sales since early 2008, according to Ward’s Automotive Group.

FABTECH 2012 Confirms: Manufacturing is the Comeback Player of the Year
Record Turnout and Brisk Sales Show that Manufacturing in the U.S. has a Bright Future
The Fabtech trade show, which bills itself as North America’s largest metal forming, fabricating, welding and laser event, is now behind us. 25,903 attendees walked the more than 450,000 net square feet of floor space at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Record first day attendance and solid sales throughout proves manufacturing is not just surviving, but fit and healthy in the US.
FABTECH show co-Manager, John Catalano commented:
“We’ve received great feedback from attendees and exhibitors. Attendees were impressed with the size and scope of the show and the vast array of new products and technologies on display. Exhibitors were enthusiastic and report that sales activity was brisk and leads were plentiful.”
This year we had set up a newly designed booth showcasing a MH314C 4-roll plate roll (10’ x 9/16”). The machine attracted a lot of interest and not just because it was beautifully painted with an American flag on its front but because of what it has “inside”.
The MH314C is the ultimate evolution in the plate bending field with two dragging rolls with hydraulic pinching allowing a steady and precise material dragging. This plate bending machine is the easiest, most versatile, quickest and precise the market can offer.
The machine was already sold prior to arriving to the booth but because of being able to demonstrate it and the CNC Touch Command Control EVO that it was equipped with, we sold several other machines, both MH314C models and other larger models.
We generated more quality leads in Las Vegas than in the last year’s Fabtech Show in Chicago show where the quantity of leads ended up surpassing the quality. This year in Las Vegas we did not have many “tire-kickers” visit our booth but customers that were seriously looking to purchase machines. Discussions were lively and productive.
Our overall impression of the show was that there was a genuine belief in the manufacturing business and continued growth in 2013. The optimism could be felt in all conversations.
Now, together with all our fellow-exhibitors we are facing a busy time of following up on the generated leads as well as already looking into the next years Fabtech Show in Chicago. The work never ends!
