                    Made in the Midlands members will be flying the flag for Walsall when they participate in this year’s MIM Expo on Thurdsay (June 21).Metal Processes and Chemique Adhesives will be among the hundreds of firms exhibiting at Coventry’s Ricoh Arena.In addition, hundreds of visitors are expected to attend the event and to make sure you don’t miss out on what they will be seeing, register for your ticket here.Laser cutting and metals specialist Metal Processes will be telling visitors to the show of its plans for the future following a recent management buy-out.Based on Willenhall Lane Industrial Estate in Bloxwich, Metal Processes was launched in 1994 and John Hayward had been at the helm for most of the years since then.Over the years the company, which is a founder member of both Made in the Midlands and the Association of Industrial Laser Users(AILU), has benefited from continued investment, adding services to its laser cutting operation such as identification etching, form bending, tapping, countersinking, stud and nut inserting. This has proved successful in helping the company to expand its customer base.The latest addition to its machine capabilities is a Haas mini-mill milling machine.When Mr Hayward decided to step down from the business, the firm opted for continuity so its existing management team could continue to focus on the firm’s growth strategy.Mr Hayward said: “Knowing how strong the management team are, they would not only continue to manage the business but leave the business through a post-Brexit world for it to continue being the success that it is now.”The management team is led by Trevor Rankin, who becomes the new MD, supported by Garry Hayward-Bird. Mr Rankin said: “Having worked in other businesses before, when I then started at Metal Processes I instantly knew this would be my home for the rest of my business career and as such I want to help continue and foster the culture of putting the customer first which has helped make Metal Processes what it is today.”The company will be exhibiting on Stand 68.Walsall-based Chemique Adhesives will be showcasing its extensive range of adhesives and support services at this year’s event.Visitors to the Ricoh Arena on Thursday will be able to see the latest developments in adhesive technology and discuss their own requirements by visiting the company on Stand 121.The company will be showcasing Chemique’s product brands and specialist bonding solutions, which are used in a wide range of industries including aerospace, automotive, commercial manufacturing, composites, construction, foam, furniture, marine and transportation.Chemique Adhesives will also be promoting its Total Service Package, which builds on the company’s commitment of providing outstanding service for tailor-made adhesive and sealant products as well as full engineering, technical support and training.The Total Service Package ensures that customers get the right adhesive and equipment for their specific application, as well as being provided with the guidance and knowledge to utilise this in the most efficient and cost effective way possible.Chemique Adhesives is a founding member of Made in the Midlands.Make sure you don’t miss out on this very special event, register for your ticket here.                    ]]>

                    A landmark mixed-use development in Nigeria has been secured by the latest British perimeter technology.Crash-tested bi-folding speed gates with inlaid SR security-rated mesh panels have been installed at&nbsp;Nestoil Tower&nbsp;on Victoria island, Lagos, along with crash-tested bollards and blockers.Cova Security Gates&nbsp;from Crawley – creators of the world’s first crash-tested speed gate – won the contract to supply and install from leading Nigerian construction company&nbsp;Julius Berger.The prestigious Nestoil Tower is a 15-storey mixed-use development consisting of 7,500 sq m of office space, 3,500 sq m of residential space, a multi-storey parking facility as well as a recreational facility – and houses Julius Berger’s new corporate head office.The building form was created using gentle curved surfaces of high performance glass with horizontal tubular details which accentuate the sweeping effect of the curved façade.&nbsp; The arced curtain walls are further defined by a surround of solid white metal panels to complete the contemporary composition of this building.Cova were tasked to provide secure vehicle and pedestrian access and to protect access from the gatehouse for staff entrances and exits at different areas and around the main building.Cova supplied five crash-tested trackless bi-folding speed gates, one standard bi-folding gate, five rising arm barriers, four crash-rated bollards, a crash-tested shallow depth road blocker, a full-height double turnstile and a push button access control system that controlled the entire turnkey project.The gates were clad with steel fencing manufacturer&nbsp;Zaun’s SR2-rated Super10&nbsp;steel mesh to add to the security of the gates.Cova’s design team manufactured each product bespoke to the client’s specific requirements for the project, because of the weight and material of the mesh, to ensure PAS68 test standards were fully met and foundation requirements, speed of opening and closing and power control were all as specified.All gates and turnstiles were finished in ‘Signal White’ to blend in with the design of the tower and the fence line.Cova filled three 40ft containers for shipping to Nigeria with all products tested prior to leaving the factory as part of its ISO9001 process and by Julius Berger-appointed auditors.Installation was arduous and fraught with difficulties, but once completed, a Cova engineer provided full training to the Nestoil Tower security team on how to operate the gates, blockers, barriers and turnstile on a daily basis so that they could correctly implement protection in the event of a terrorist vehicle attack.                    ]]>
