News: Danish Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre launches

By

The world-leading centre at the forefront of advanced manufacturing and the rapidly evolving aerospace sector based in Rotherham, is being replicated in Denmark.

With guidance from technical experts at the AMRC in Rotherham and The Boeing Company, the first project is underway at the centre in Herning to help member companies learn how to optimize their machining operations to improve production efficiency, reduce costs and increase quality.

Jan Närlinge, president of Boeing Northern Europe said: "This project's launch highlights the significant progress made in the eight months since we gathered here in Herning to introduce the vision for a DAMRC, and shows just what can be achieved through continued partnership among DAMRC members, the AMRC With Boeing and The Boeing Company."

Mirroring the UK's centre, the DAMRC is a consortium of Danish firms, government institutions and academia formed with cooperation from The Boeing Company and the AMRC With Boeing.

Based on the Advanced Manufacturing Park in Rotherham, the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) with Boeing is a £100m collaboration among more than 40 partner organisations, comprising world leaders in the aerospace supply chain, key government offices and international academic institutions.

The centre's staff has increased tenfold to more than 100 employees, and the AMRC model has been replicated in Australia, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany and India.
