PUBLISHER’S NOTE

Dear MMI Readers,

As we bid farewell to 2023, an eventful year for machine tools and the Manufacturing industry, the time is apt to shed old and ineffective practices and welcome what is new and promising as we step into the year 2024.

Reading becomes enjoyable when the content and presentation of a magazine are enriched through the latest and value-added information and design. Modern Manufacturing India (MMI), as a contemporary and well-circulated magazine, has been constantly endeavoring to achieve this goal for its readers through its focus on evolving concepts in manufacturing and machine tools by encompassing new technological, business-oriented, and trend-setting reports and articles over the years.

IMTMA’s sole priority as a Publisher of MMI is to maintain high standards in presenting technological and business advancements and new knowledge that arise within and around the Manufacturing industry across geographies, with a special focus on the Indian market.

MMI welcomes articles on all aspects of engineering, viz., manufacturing processes, digitalization, engineering design, Industry 4.0 technologies, decarbonization, promotion of sustainability, and others, which encompasses current and future priorities for businesses.

In line with the MMI standards, we’ve weaved together some thought-provoking articles and reports on Metal Forming industry in this current edition. It also features an article on IMTEX Forming 2024 to give readers a sneak peek into how the exhibition is shaping up.

On behalf of Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA), I wish all our MMI readers including their family members a very happy and prosperous New Year. Let this new year be a meaningful and successful one for one and all.

Wish you a happy reading.
