Happy Birthday, Internet!

Warm birthday wishes to our dear friend, the Internet. Just 40 years ago today, you spoke your first word - Lo. We all start slowly... Soon, Lo became Login and look at you now!

Like all good friends, we count on your for assistance, we look to you for advice and sometimes you irritate us to no end.

But, Internet, what would we ever do without you?

What do you think?

Over 1,400 Refocused. Rediscovered. And Reinvented.

Over 1,400 manufacturers from North and Central America attended it's 'Your Manufacturing Future? Refocus. Rediscover. Reinvent.' event which took place at Mazak's headquarters in Florence, Kentucky. Also known as R3, the three-day event introduced new technology and provided innovative strategies to help American manufacturers achieve success.

"We really believed that the manufacturing community would respond strongly to an event focused on positioning themselves for future growth," said Brian Papke, President, Mazak Corporation. "Our expectations for R3 were already high and we're absolutely thrilled to have them exceeded. A lot of manufacturers are recognizing that the market has changed and evolution toward a new level of manufacturing productivity is required for continued manufacturing success."

Kudos to Mazak for supporting its customers in such a meaningful way. We have the best clients! We at dgs were proud to be a small part of this event.

It pays to R3.
