Another Great Reason to Head to Mexico in February

This hardly seems post worthy, does it? Who needs any excuse to head to sunny Mexico in the cold, dark month of February? But here at Feed Lease, our motivation for heading south of the border strays from what most would consider traditional.

Sure, we’ll take advantage of the sun and the warmth and the enchiladas. We’re not crazy.

But we have an affinity for a part of Mexico you probably wouldn’t consider and it isn’t the sipping margaritas in a cantina part. It’s the metal stamping industry.

That’s why Feed Lease is happily heading to the PMA Metalforming Technology Conference in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, February 16-17 to connect with the great people in that industry.

Technology continues to play an increasingly important role in securing new business and minimizing cost in the metal stamping industry in Mexico - an industry that’s strong and thriving. There are numerous companies with a wide range of equipment and the ability to produce a broad range of component parts from a number of metals. Feed Lease is a worldwide company and we love working in Mexico to support the employees and manufacturers in this industry.

(And frankly, the beaches are nice.)

More importantly though, these conferences serve as educational forums with knowledgeable speakers and sponsors that help promote the continued growth and expansion of Mexico’s press stamping industry.

PMA has developed this event to arm senior Mexican business leaders and their key technical staff in Mexican facilities with the most updated information on numerous technology trends in the metal forming industry. All of which will help them increase operation productivity.

The Metalforming Technology Conference addresses topics such as mechanical presses and their components; safety considerations, maintenance procedures and schedules, as well as whether to replace or repair your press.

Other topics include preventive and predictive tool and die maintenance, sensors and die protection and lubrication systems and lubricants. The sessions are conducted in Spanish and will be developed for company executives as well as engineers, technicians and operators.

Feed Lease participates in quite a few of these educational conferences and we always find them to be informative and beneficial. Plus, we love connecting with our friends in Mexico. So get away from the cold for a few days and join us in Mexico. It’s going to be a good - and educational - time.

Hasta la vista.
