I truly enjoyed being part of the Parts Cleaning Conference, located with IMTS in Chicago! I always learn new ideas from the presenters. My talk, “Understand and Address the Regulatory Landscape (Survival tactics for effective product cleaning & manufacturing), covered a lot of ground, including technical, regulatory, and even career considerations. It elicited good questions and insightful discussions. Thanks to Darren Williams and Lori Beckman for putting together an excellent conference in a wonderful city! #metalfinishing #precisioncleaning #criticalcleaning #manufacturing #regulatory

Use the brainpower and street smarts of your employees! Read “Achieving Brilliant Educated Employees in the Finishing Industry” in the September issue of FinishingAndCoating.com Magazine. Ed, The Rocket Scientist, and I at BFK Solutions, LLC have found that employee education, not training, makes the difference between effective, well-documented cleaning processes and hit or miss production.? https://lnkd.in/g_uqyZ6q #surfacefinishing #precisioncleaning #manufacturing #criticalcleaning

On Tuesday September 10, 2024, I will deliver the opening presentation of the Precision Cleaning Conference in Chicago. I will start with a summary of how current U.S. EPA regulatory activities under EPA Amended TSCA can adversely affect critical product cleaning, surface prep, and product performance. Even if you never use nPB, TCE, nPB, or MC, many fabricators depend on them. If forced to change to less effective cleaning chemicals, the negative impact on your as-received hardware can be severe. I’ll discuss strategies and tactics to help your manufacturing business survive and thrive. Register for PCC to hear “Understand and Address the Regulatory Landscape: Survival Tactics for Effective Product Cleaning and Manufacturing,” Ed and Barbara Kanegsberg, BFK Solutions, LLC. I look forward to talking with you! https://lnkd.in/gCamxKN9 #criticalcleaning #precisioncleaning #surfacefinishing #manufacturing #regulatory
