2021Westec has come and gone, but for many it was the first major industry get together in almost two years. Everyone we spoke with was pleased to be face to face with partners, clients and potential new customers. The masks could hardly contain the big smiles from seeing old friends and making new ones. Quality was at the forefront of the show, with booth after booth offering software, measurement devises or both. Lots of vendors were showcasing hand held devices and touches scanning features. There were big CMM’s, small CMM’s and anything your quality lab or shop floor could desire. We hit up a couple of the most respected names in quality to get a quick take on how their show was going and what they had in their booths. We spoke with: Todd Johnson of Total Quality Systems - Ex- clusive Distributor for Zeiss in Southern California and the Four Corner States, Devon King - Regional Sales Manager & Jeff Seliga - Marketing Manager Renishaw Inc., and Ingo Helmel - West Coast Sales Manager &
Art Whistler - Vice President of Sales and Marketing Helmel Engineering Products Inc.
