What is The Metal Magazine?
The Metal Magazine is a modern response to the demand for industry news, which is more reactive than a printed magazine, avoids the clutter and distraction of LinkedIn and which features genuinely newsworthy articles.
In producing this publication, we aim to disrupt the status quo and bring the concept of sharing news with your industry peers and potential customers into the 21st century.
With contributors from a variety of specialities and backgrounds, the articles give a broad view of the current and future states of engineering and the metal industry.
When is the magazine published?
Articles will be added to the website here as soon as the news can be shared, meaning that you don’t need to wait for a physical magazine to be printed, and can remain informed and up-to-date as the news happens.
The Metal Magazine will also be released quarterly in the form of a digital magazine, with pages that you can flip through to see a collection of that quarter’s most popular articles.
How can I feature in the next edition?
If your company has something newsworthy to share with the industry, your academic institution has something that the industry needs to hear, or you’d like to become a regular contributor to the Magazine, we’d love to hear from you.
Maybe you’ve installed a new piece of machinery that means you can now offer an enhanced range of services, and you’d like to tell your existing and potential customers about it.
Maybe you’re conducting research into a new process for generating renewable energy, or have developed a technique for reducing waste and maximising profit while minimising the impact on the environment.
Whatever your idea, get in touch with us using our contact form – we’d love to hear from you.
