Gibson Guitar

 
CNC machines and guitar making go together as well as “Country and Western” or “Rock and Roll.”  In fact, CNC does such a good job at improving the productivity and quality of repetitive wood routing tasks that all of the major guitar makers have adopted it over the past 20 years. Gibson, though, recently took CNC use a step further when it installed a new automatic bandsaw that helps keeps its Nashville factory humming along.

Global Top 50

 

FOR THE FOURTH YEAR RUNNING, Dow Chemical and BASF are the leading two companies in C&EN's survey of the global Top 50 chemical companies . And for the fourth year running, in what has become a good-natured but intense rivalry, Dow leads BASF, although the two companies' chemical sales differ by less than 2%.No surprises there. And no surprises, either, in the presence of the chemical businesses of oil giants Royal Dutch Shell, ExxonMobil, China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. (Sinopec), and Total in the top 10. A surprise did come in, though, with the dramatic entry into the top five of Ineos Group, which has been cobbled together by a string of major acquisitions.

Honda expects record profits

 
Honda Motor Co. said Wednesday it was on track for record annual profits, reversing an earlier warning of an earnings drop, after a strong first-quarter performance driven by brisk overseas sales.

Honda, Japan's second-largest automaker, said net profit rose 15.8 percent in the three months to June as a weaker yen gave a boost to its foreign earnings, helping to offset a slump in domestic vehicle sales.
