"I decided that an apprenticeship would suit me better than university, as I wanted to get stuck-in and gain practical experience," she continues. "During my time at Renishaw, not only have I completed a full honors degree, I've also worked on cutting-edge projects. This has built my confidence and improved my practical skills." :: Renishaw Inc. 847-286-9953, renishaw.com :: Star SU to Produce Scudding Tools for Profilator Star SU LLC has formed an alliance with Profilator to manufacture scudding tools for the global market and in North America in cooperation with German Machine Tools of America (GMTA). Scudding is an improvement to traditional power skiving technology for gear production.

David Goodfellow, president of Star SU LLC, is pleased with the partnership.
