Outstanding Attendance Once Again at Roll-Kraft ’ s Annual Regional Seminars

Roll-Kraft ’ s annual regional seminars prove popular and informative
Roll-Kraft , an internationally known supplier of roll tooling to tube and pipe and roll forming manufacturers , recently held its annual regional tube and pipe and roll form seminars , along with tours of Roll-Kraft ’ s stateof-the-art corporate headquarters in Mentor , Ohio .
Over 125 attendees from 37 companies and divisions attended the two-day event .
According to organizer and speaker , Robert A . Sladky , Vice President of Tube Mill Engineering for Roll-Kraft , the seminar attracted a broad mix of attendees , from basic / experienced mill operators to maintenance and quality personnel , supervisors , and management . “ It takes a team effort to make the success of any tube , pipe or roll form operation ,” said Sladky .
The seminar presentations were designed to allow interaction with the attendees . Combined with a dynamic PowerPoint presentation , follow-along seminar guide books , and real live “ show and tell ” mill equipment , these programs offer one of the most comprehensive and effective training programs in the industry . This detailed training is geared toward developing a standard , proven , and clear-cut method for all to follow , rather than the arbitrary “ day shift way ,” “ night shift way ,” “ this guy ’ s way ,” or “ that guy ’ s way .”
All presentation materials and procedures demonstrate tested practices that have been documented as successful over the years and are currently used throughout the industry . The seminar is not a theory-only event ; rather , it features tangible , reliable information that can be
utilized immediately . Sladky states that this is one of the major reasons these “ regional ” and “ in-house on-site ” programs are so popular and rank high in demand and attendance .
Roll-Kraft conducts regional training seminars and events periodically throughout the year , and also offers tube and pipe training and roll forming training programs at customer ’ s locations . Conducting a training program on-site allows the instructors to focus on the mills as they currently operate , tooling , and staff , and allows interaction with their everyday issues and experiences .
