Heat Stress Can Sneak Up Faster Than You Think ☀️

As temperatures climb, heat stress becomes a serious risk on jobsites, shop floors, warehouses, and manufacturing environments.

It’s not just about being uncomfortable. Heat-related illness can impact focus, reaction time, and overall safety long before someone realizes there’s a problem.

Keep an eye out for warning signs like:

-dizziness
-headaches
-muscle cramps
-heavy sweating
-fatigue
-confusion

A few simple reminders can make a big difference:
💧 Hydrate before you feel thirsty
🧊 Take cool-down breaks when possible
👀 Watch out for your crew and coworkers
☀️ When possible, schedule demanding tasks earlier in the day before temperatures peak

Safety is a team effort, especially during the hottest months of the year.

How is your team beating the heat this summer? If you don't have a plan, we can help 🤝

Big results from a recent demo of the REGO-FIX PowRGrip system. 👏

After testing the system with a customer earlier this week, the initial performance gains were hard to ignore:

• Rough cut feed rate increased by 130%
• Semi-finish feed rate increased by 150%
• Finish end mill feed rate increased by 200%

Even more impressive, both tools still looked brand new after testing.

By replacing the third semi-finish mill with an additional cut from the roughing tool, the customer saw improved results while simplifying the process. Combining the gripping strength of shrink fit with the dampening effect of a hydraulic holder, the PowRGrip system is proving to be a serious game changer for milling applications.

Current cycle time: 4 hrs. 32 min.
Projected cycle time after continued testing: approximately 2 hours.

Testing will continue with a full 60-day demo setup, including holders, collets, and assembly/disassembly equipment to allow the customer to fully evaluate the system in production.

At Johnston Companies, one of our weekly 28 Compass Fundamentals is "Give Back", and this week we had the opportunity to put that into action in a meaningful way. ❤️

Hosted by our Women in Industry Group, we partnered with Convoy of Hope to hold packing parties at each of our DC locations and our corporate office, where team members assembled individual hygiene kits to be distributed anywhere in the world where need is greatest.

We were also grateful to welcome a representative from Convoy of Hope, Seth, both in person and over Teams, to share more about their mission, the impact they are making globally, and additional ways we can support the cause.

We collaborated over lunch, making it not only a day of service but also a chance to connect while supporting something bigger than ourselves.

Overall, it's been an incredible week spent giving back, learning more about an amazing organization, and making a difference together.
