Likewise, well done John.
Things in the machine tool industry are very tough. Likely to get tougher too given the pressure from China. None the less, Landis has, through their unparalleled commitment to innovation, created machinery that is well deserving of their icon status.
Everyone copies the stuff that Landis invents. Then, I suppose, there are the many who would purchase the copy products and think they got a good deal. Well, I’m afraid; the truth is that people who copy stuff never get to understand how it works. If you want the stuff that works, you need to get it from the source - Landis.
Also, the Lund division of Landis in the UK is primarily responsible for the design of the CNC camshaft grinding machine. I have one of their first and it is a beautiful and amazingly well engineered machine.
