With Muratec, you don't just join a team, you join a family. Tony Gunn spends an evening with the Murata Machinery USA sales teams, distributors, and partners to experience Muratec company culture up close.

By Tony Gunn | The WorldWide Machinist Manufacturing has always been like an iceberg. The world celebrates the ten percent sticking above the water. This week I went looking for the other ninety. Baer Brake Systems: Manufacturing Coolant Technology in Action For more than three decades, Baer Brake Systems has been proving that stopping is every bit as important as going. Their performance brake systems are engineered, machined, coated, assembled, and finished right in Phoenix

Founded in 1912, Goodwin-Bradley has supported innovations tied to Henry Ford, Sikorsky helicopters, and the USS Nautilus submarine program. Tony Gunn explores what a century of manufacturing experience really means — and why it can't be replicated overnight.

Everyone celebrates the machine. Almost nobody talks about the fluid touching the tool thousands of times a minute. Tony Gunn visits three Italian shops — Righi, Gamba, and Officine Mara — to uncover the industrial coolant innovation quietly changing the game.

By Tony Gunn | The WorldWide Machinist Italy gives the world art, food, fashion, cars, architecture, and coffee strong enough to make your ancestors answer emails. But spend a week with the people I just spent the week with — and you'll start to suspect Italy's greatest export isn't any of that. It's industrial obsession. This week took me through four Italian manufacturing stories that genuinely don't exist anywhere else on the planet. A company that's been operating since b

Four companies. Four families. One city. Tony Gunn goes inside Avinent, Mikalor, Bonastre, and Createch Medical to discover how Barcelona manufacturing innovation is quietly changing lives one precision component at a time.

From a Swedish machine removing 1,200 cubic inches of aerospace aluminum per minute, to Spain's Basque Country, to a German machine that self-corrects in real time — this week Tony Gunn goes inside three of the world's most advanced machining centers.

From a Swedish machine removing 1,200 cubic inches of aerospace aluminum per minute, to Spain's Basque Country, to a German machine that self-corrects in real time — this week Tony Gunn goes inside three of the world's most advanced machining centers.

From a 130-year-old threading legend to a 100% employee-owned heavy machining shop — Tony Gunn goes inside two American shops that prove US manufacturing excellence is built one decade at a time, not one headline at a time.

From a 115-year-old German shop that 10x'd its output overnight, to the world's largest environmental technology show, to Liebherr's secret automation lab — this week in Germany redefined what manufacturing innovation looks like. Plus, GrindingHub is coming to America. Here's everything we saw.

By Tony Gunn | The WorldWide Machinist Germany doesn't manufacture. Germany obsesses. I just wrapped up one of the most intense weeks of factory tours I've done in a long time. Six stops. Back-to-back. Across some of the most serious precision manufacturing facilities on the planet — all as part of Jan Votteler's German tour. Every shop had a different specialty. Every team had a different story. But by the time I walked out of the last one, I realized they were all telling t
