Suddenly everything would be easy: ChatGPT, write an editorial on the keywords “forming technology”, “economic situation”, “worldwide”, “future expectations”. I decide otherwise: Instead of having my text written by an artificial...

The experience of the unique quality of the old Hatebur former was the driving force behind the decision to purchase a new Hatebur COLDmatic CM 625 in 2022. The deal was...
