The Association for Manufacturing Technology opened its 3rd technology and service centre on May 15th in Chennai, India. The new technology and service centre will provide Indian manufacturers with access to American manufacturing technology and equipment. AMT hopes the tech centre will help to promote US exports while saving Indian companies time and money. CTG plans to install demo machines including our Lean-Jet RB-2 and Agisonic, along with a testing room in the new centre. Our Indian customers will be able to visit the centre and observe our machines in running condition. Customers will also have the opportunity to send in parts for testing and Millipore validations. CTG is proud and excited to be a part of the new AMT Chennai Technology & Service Centre!

When the March tornadoes ravaged parts of the South and Midwest, leveling small towns throughout Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, Ransohoff employees began looking for a way to help the victims. Through both employee and company donations, Ransohoff was able to raise $3,500 for the Neediest Kids of All. The NKOA, founded in 1952, collects and disburses funds to children around the Greater Cincinnati tri-state area and has helped over 174,649 children within the last decade. Ransohoff's donation helped contribute to over $59,461 that was raised by NKOA to help the smallest victims of the tornadoes! Congratulations, Ransohoff, on a job well done!
