Linde joined forces with its strategic alliance partner, Roy Smith Company, at the Michigan Minority Procurement Conference & Opportunity (MMPC) fair recently to showcase its applications technology using carbon dioxide and nitrogen in the manufacture of automotive parts.
Emphasising the theme, “Diversity Matters,” the fair was held in early May at the Cobo Center in Detroit, Michigan. It is the state’s largest business trade fair, focusing specifically on the capabilities of minority-owned businesses (MBEs) and the areas of need for the country’s top corporations.
Jim Stanley, program manager-Industrial Applications for Linde, said, “It was a great event for both companies. Roy Smith is well known among the manufacturers as well as the first-, second- and third-tier suppliers to the automotive industry. This fair gave Linde the opportunity to highlight several CO2– and nitrogen-based process applications for plastic automotive and consumer product parts that lower costs while increasing productivity and quality.”
Roy Smith Company, located in Detroit, Michigan, was established in 1924 and is a leading supplier of turnkey bulk industrial gas systems, a broad range of cylinder gases, welding equipment and supplies, as well as safety and industrial products. Linde’s network of supply locations throughout the US also assists Roy Smith Company to extend its reach to its customers in various parts of the country.
