In modern manufacturing, the assembly line is both the heart of production and a constant source of evolving challenges. At Apex Tool Group, the phrase Tame the Line isn't just a tagline—it's a philosophy rooted in empathy for the relentless pace and complexity of the line itself. Unlike traditional approaches that attempt to dominate or rigidly control the process, Apex embraces the idea that lines can’t be conquered, only tamed. This mindset fosters a partnership approach—one that values collaboration over command, and flexibility over one-size-fits-all solutions. It's a recognition that success lies in offering choices and empowering manufacturers with tools that enhance safety, efficiency, and adaptability. With innovation and respect at its core, Apex seeks to co-create smarter paths forward with those on the line every day. For Matt Mitchell, Marketing Director at Apex Tool Group, Tame the Line is not just a message—it's a mission to honor the expertise of manufacturers and elevate the shared pursuit of better outcomes.

Element’s Charlotte lab makes tensile specimens from turbine blade roots

Element’s Charlotte lab makes tensile specimens from turbine blade roots

Element Materials Technology’s Charlotte lab wire-EDMs one-eighth-inch cylinders from the root of a turbine blade and low-stress grinds them into tensile specimens—work value stream manager Daniel Steele says he’s not aware other labs do at this size. The lab, which invested $3.2 million in 2019 according to Aerospace Manufacturing and Design, is adding creep and stress rupture frames under a lease signed in January.

  • 01The extraction know-how has a paper trail: Aerospace Manufacturing and Design reported in March 2019 that Element’s $3.2 million Charlotte investment included EDM plunge machines—and that Charlotte was the first Element lab to install them for extracting cylindrical specimen blanks.
  • 02Deloitte's November 2025 outlook put manufacturing construction spending down 7% year over year by July 2025, so a lab adding floor space and creep frames is growing inside one of the few pockets Deloitte flagged for expansion.
