BMI's Chinese summer
This past July 2018, BMI welcomed 4 Chinese delegations in its premises. The first two delegations were from major subsidiaries of AVIC Group (China Aviation Industry Corporation) and AECC Group (Aero Engine Corporation of China). They were led by the Group's VP and composed of engineers, end-users as well as the Purchasing Director of CATIC, in charge of procurement for the entire Group's subsidiaries. This meeting allowed us to introduce our teams (Engineering, Service...) and our workshop, and to discuss current and future projects. It was a great opportunity to reinforce our collaboration which started in 2000.
The third delegation was from an AVIC subsidiary coming to do the temporary acceptance of their vacuum furnace for titanium annealing and stress relieving.
Finally, the last delegation was composed of members of the Chinese Heat Treatment Association, on a tour to learn about Europe's "best practices" in machine manufacturing.
It was also during the month of July that BMI was awarded a new major project in China, for another AVIC subsidiary. We will present you this project in upcoming News.
