Diving in mud, throwing black pudding, eating nettles, carrying women (yes, that's what you get in the Finnish town of Sonkajärvi): what kind of competitions are there for championship titles?! Of course we could have sponsored something like that, but what would serious blood sausage throwers do with our beautiful grinding machines? Become tool grinder of the year 2012!

We prefer to support the renowned industry competition "Tool Grinder of the Year", which is held every two years. On the day of the competition, 15 March 2012, at the GrindTec in Augsburg, we will be making a brand new Multigrind® CA available as a competition machine. The five finalists must (or may) grind a tungsten carbide tool that is as dimensionally stable as possible in a maximum of 2 hours. So, if you want to become Tool Grinder of the Year, go to the competition website and download the competition documents. And if you know someone who can do it in terms of grinding, send them the link to the competition: www.schleifer-des-jahres.de

We are looking forward to many participants! With this in mind: Grinding with attitude and get your laurels! Dirk Wember
