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

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.”
