Support skills

Mitutoyo has signed an agreement with WorldSkills International as Bronze sponsor of WorldSkills London 2011 (5th to 8th October, ExCeL), a competition that brings together young people from across the globe to compete to become the 'best of the best'.

Mitutoyo is supporting the Manufacturing (and Engineering) Technology section of the event and will supply some 400 measurement instruments and coordinate measuring machines. The company's measurement specialists and training instructors will be at ExCeL, assisting the adjudicators by measuring the work-pieces made by the competitors and offering guidance on practical measurement applications and career options in the field of metrology.

David Thomson, MD of Mitutoyo UK, says: "Our company ethos has always been that in order to achieve the best in measurement, you need to invest in people, so we are wholeheartedly investing in WorldSkills as it aims to inspire and inform the youth of today who will of course become the engineers of tomorrow."
