Jesse has been a Field Service Technician here at MAC for four months. When he’s not traveling the globe helping MAC customers, he’s helping the MAC Assembly team. Jesse’s work super power would be Super Speed. With super speed he could assembly entire machines in minutes and skip the international flights. He could stay the night at home and be ready for work anywhere in the world in the morning! #sales #industrialdesign #employeeexperience #industrialautomation #automationengineering #workforce #MACYouth #MAC #nextgeneration #future #industrialengineering #engineering #mac #automation #automationindustry #energystorage #batteries #battery #engineering #automationengineering #futureleaders

Check out the optaMAC Oven, available in gas or electric, available with heated sections as short as 6096mm (240") or as long as you need. With a 1,750 CFM power-assisted exhaust the optaMAC Oven maintains negative pressure inside the oven keeping the surrounding area at a cooler temperature and reducing the spread of lead dust into the work area. Safety. Efficiency. Dependability. At MAC we perform what we promise. #oven #optamac #customerservice #energystorage #engineering #batterytechnology #macengineering #industrialdesign #automation #industrialautomation #automationengineering #MAC #ovens #stackers #COS #castonstrap #partermachine #leadacidbatterymachinery #leadacid #customdesignbatterymachines #servicedbatterymachinery #manufacturing #platemakingequipment #Uncoiler #SteelBeltPaster #CottonBeltPaster #FixedOrificepaster #PastePrepsystem #optaMAC #Feeders #AcidSurfacer #PasteReturnSystem #FlashDryingOvens #FlashDryOven #TrimDryOven #Highspeedstacker #Stacker #RobotRackHandlingSystem #CuringChambers #AutomotiveBattery #IndustrialBattery #leadsafety #Tiegel

This week's MAC Youth spotlight shines on Brandon! Brandon has been at MAC for four years as the Stock Room Supervisor. Brandon's chosen super power that he could only use at work would be Invisibility. He said being invisible would allow him to work (and eat lunch) without interruption. #workculture #sales #industrialdesign #automation #employeeexperience #industrialautomation #automationengineering #workforce #workingtogether #MACYouth #MAC #youth #nextgeneration #future

Big News! Sorfin Yoshimura Joins ESEMA The energy storage industry is evolving fast, and we’re at the forefront. Sorfin Yoshimura is now part of the Energy Storage Equipment Manufacturers Alliance (ESEMA)—driving innovation, boosting supply chain efficiency, and setting new industry standards. Why it matters? -Stronger collaboration between manufacturers -Smarter, more efficient energy storage solutions -A more resilient and sustainable future We had a great experience sharing ESEMA’s vision at NAATBatt International. The industry is growing rapidly, making initiatives like ESEMA more important than ever. Let’s power up together—follow ESEMA’s LinkedIn for the latest updates.

Does your plant have a MAC X610 or MAC Steel Belt Paster? Is your hopper ready for maintenance or a rebuild? Consider the MAC Thick Wall Hopper. #customerservice #energystorage #engineering #batterytechnology #macengineering #industrialdesign #automation #industrialautomation #automationengineering

“You know, 10 years ago I was very cautious and concerned about the future of the lead-acid battery industry. I am no longer cautious on any level, and there are a variety of reasons for it." says Scott Fink, President of Sorfin Yoshimura LTD, in this excellent article by Andrew Draper. Draper expands upon the ESEMA alliance and how teamwork can make the dream work. Check out the article here! Sorfin, others form alliance to scale industry presence

The MAC Youth Spotlight shines bright on Robin this week. Robin is the Mechanical Engineering Manager here at MAC, she's been here for 9 years. If MAC was the world, Robin would be Atlas. When asked about her work superpower she said she'd want clairvoyance, seeing the future. She could see what issues will arise when a project is finished and keep them from ever happening. She could also see the whole meeting before it happens! (And decide if it should be an email instead.) #workculture #sales #industrialdesign #automation #employeeexperience #industrialautomation #automationengineering #workforce #MACYouth #MAC #youth #nextgeneration #future

February 18th is National Battery Day, it is also Alessandro Volta’s birthday. On March 20th, 1800 a letter addressed from Alessandro Volta to Joseph Banks, president of the Royal Society of London, reported the first “electric pile.” The first modern form of batteries was the electric pile, or Voltaic pile which is credited to Alessandro Volta. The birth of the Voltaic pile came from a dispute between Volta and another Italian scientist, Luigi Galvani. Galvani experimented by attaching a frog to an iron rail and held the frog with a copper hook through its spine, turning the frog into a conductor for the current causing it to twitch. ?Which lead Galvani to believe he had discovered a new electricity he called “animal electricity.” He believed the frog legs were generating the current rather than being a vehicle for the current. Volta publicly disagreed with Galvani sparking controversy and a good old fashioned scientific dispute. Instead of frogs, Volta used paper soaked in salt water (or salt vinegar) placed between discs of copper and zinc. Touching a piece of wire to the top and bottom of the pile allowed the electricity to flow through the wire giving us the first battery. So, in theory, one could make their own Voltaic pile with pickle juice, pennies, and some zinc plated washers from the hardware store? It’s incredible how far we’ve come from voltaic piles to the sophisticated energy storage solutions we have today. Since today is National Battery Day, MAC would like to extend a thank you to Alessandro Volta for laying the foundation for energy storage. MAC can help streamline the battery making process, but we wouldn’t be helping anyone make the best batteries in the world without Volta. #energystorage #batteries #Volta #Voltaicpile #electricpile?#AlessandroVolta #Alessandro #engineering #automation #industrialengineering #industrialautomation #MAC #MACengineering #NationalBatteryDay #BatteryIndustry #MadeInUSA #AmericanManufacturing

Great day 2 with the ESEMA team. Very productive meeting and thanks to all for coming to St Louis or participating online. My special thanks goes to Nick Hennen for hosting us. What I really love about this alliance, likeminded people are putting heads together and being creative for the benefit of our customers. What next-gen solutions can we develop to increase productivity of our customers? Besides our skills what other service providers can we partner with and bring into the discussion in case our customer needs it. I feel the commitment from all alliance members and the absolute will to make a difference with our work. And I feel trust between longterm friends. It is great fun to work with you guys. Today we made another big step. Thanks Julie McClure, Douglas Bornas, Bjoern Stoll, Scott Fink, Jimmy Stewart, Michael Wipperfürth, Nick Hennen to make it happen.
