Every AI server runs on laminated boards. We build the presses that laminate them: vacuum systems to 1200°F, UNI-TEMP platens holding ±3°C, lab presses to full automation. TMP pioneered PCB vacuum lamination in 1984. New article: frenchoil.com/the-ai-buildou…
U.S. manufacturing: $3T in annual value added. 12.6M workers. 239K companies, 74% with under 20 employees. 580K open jobs right now. Built in Piqua, used everywhere. #MFGMonth
October is Manufacturing Month. @OhioMfg on why Ohio is a manufacturing state. We've been part of that story in Piqua since 1900. youtu.be/2LmiQ8FZSD0?si=-_12…
It's #MFGDay. Students like these visit French Oil in Piqua throughout the year to watch a cobot load a machining center, meet our machinists, and see parts go into presses built and tested here.

Manufacturer. State senator. Persistent pain in the neck for bad policy.
Sen. Mark Romanchuk received the Dan French Legacy Award today at the Ohio Manufacturers’ Energy Conference for his willingness to dig into complicated issues, ask hard questions and keep pushing when the easy answer is not good enough.
That is exactly the kind of leadership Dan French believed in.
±.001" combined deflection and machining error under full load. That's the ULTRIX 2,000-ton hydraulic press, about one-third the variation typical of precision presses. Talk precision molding at CAMX GG5 or GPS 1158.
