Magnum Venus Products (MVP) was one of the exhibitors at the 2019 JEC World tradeshow in Paris. The JEC Group, which is one of the most notable organizations in the global composites industry, represents, promotes and enables composite product development with global and local networking and educational services. As such, JEC World is one of the planet’s leading composites trade shows, dedicated entirely to the development of know-how and business connection channels and platforms supporting the growth and promotion of the composite materials industry, all of which explains MVP’s continued participation in this great event.

JEC World 2019 Brings Together the Global Composite World

JEC World 2019 encompassed three days and included over 40,000 composite industry professionals from 115 different countries. MVP was thrilled to host a variety of distributor teams from all over the world in our booth this year, allowing us to demonstrate our composite application innovations to a truly global market. As a leading manufacturer in composite application equipment since 1938, being a part of this international event is critical to our continued success, allowing us to keep a finger on the pulse of today’s industry trends while providing a sneak peek to advancements that will help propel the industry forward.

Networking, Connections, and Programs at JEC World

One of the biggest advantages of attending 2019 JEC World was the ability to network with so many well-respected companies and individuals in the industry. Because it is an international event, MVP was able to connect with experts from all over the world, discussing challenges, ideas, and more—learning from the brightest minds in the business.

The show also presented the results of the global composite market observatory, offering insights for the automotive, aeronautics, and building industries. This included several programs recognizing new technologies for these sectors, as well as the simulation, additive manufacturing, and consumer recreation (i.e., sports & leisure) industries. As MVP looks to continue our growth in all of these markets, our attendance at JEC World just makes sense. The educational experiences, coupled with the opportunity to make global connections, provided MVP with a greater, more far-reaching insight and understanding of the industry’s needs.

MVP Releases New Products to a Growing International Market

Showcasing some of our revolutionary innovations for the market, MVP delivered talks on the thermoset printer project and displayed new products at our booth, including the Single Component Unit and more.

  • In partnership with the Department of Energy’s ORNL (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) ORNL, MVP developed the first-ever thermoset printer. Unachievable with previous technology, this 3D printer is capable of printing large-scale thermosets, chemistries that are irreversibly cured of a prepolymer or resin. With this new technology, researchers and developers will be able to prototype more quickly and bring products to market faster, positively impacting the productivity of the additive manufacturing industry.
  • The Single-Component Unit, the most user-friendly material unloader on the market, offers easy loading and unloading of materials, has been designed with the safety of the operator in mind, and for portability. Its unique shape allows the user to move the unit over a drum of material, meaning a single user can operate it. It’s also distinctive because of its control panel accessibility and rugged yet operable frame design.

MVP was honored to be part of JEC World 2019 and to share our innovations with such a dynamic audience of international industry professionals. It’s truly inspiring to be a part of such a rapidly evolving industry that focuses on delivering better solutions for so many markets and industries, both now and well into the future.

Packaging robots are now cheaper than labor over the long run, PMMI says

Packaging robots are now cheaper than labor over the long run, PMMI says

PMMI's Tom Egan wrote in Processing Magazine that adding packaging automation and robotics can now be justified as more cost-effective over the long term than the high cost of labor in food, beverage and CPG plants. Separately, Packaging World describes AI-enabled AMRs from ABB and Agilox that automate material movement between packaging stations. The remaining gap is adoption among smaller manufacturers.

  • 01Two reference points for infrastructure-light material movement: ABB's Flexley Mover P603 carries 1,500 kg with sub-centimeter positioning and no floor markers, and Agilox's OFL lifts 800 kg pallets on peer-to-peer fleet software with no central traffic controller, per Packaging World.
  • 02The open ground is small and mid-sized manufacturers: MTC's Mike Wilson counts tens of thousands of UK SMEs with no robotic automation at all and expects cobots to take most of that growth.
  • 03A robotics business case should include procurement, not only line labor: a June 2026 China Journal of Accounting Research study found heavy robot adopters spread buying across more suppliers, gaining resilience but losing inventory efficiency and adding transaction costs.

Xtellio brings telematics to jobsite tools and heaters

Xtellio brings telematics to jobsite tools and heaters

Xtellio launched a two-tier telematics platform in March 2026: 32 battery-powered Xense sensors for small tools and wired Pro-Xentral devices for excavators, light towers and heaters. The company claims a 10-year battery life. Data is delivered through open APIs, which Xtellio frames as customer ownership of the data, aimed at rental and construction fleets where small assets have gone largely untracked.

  • 01A 10-year battery claim on a bolt-on Bluetooth sensor is the benchmark to hold any small-asset telematics vendor against; it decides whether tagging hundreds of tools is a one-time job or a recurring maintenance chore.
  • 02For rental houses and contractors running mixed fleets, the sharper question is no longer which machines have telematics but whether the heaters, light towers and hand tools do, and whether that data lands in the same system.
  • 03Open APIs and customer-owned data are now part of the pitch from a telematics hardware maker, which gives buyers a concrete contract clause to ask for: where can the data be sent, and who controls it once the asset is on rent.

Senate bill would double smart water grants to $50 million a year

Senate bill would double smart water grants to $50 million a year

S. 2388, the Water Infrastructure Modernization Act of 2025, would double an EPA water tech pilot to $50 million a year through 2028. Grants would cover design, construction, training and operations for leak detection, advanced metering and AI analytics, WaterWorld reported. Planning and maintenance stay on the utility's tab.

  • 01Under S. 2388 as WaterWorld describes it, feasibility studies are not grant-eligible, so a utility would have to pay to build the case for a smart water project before applying for help building the project itself.
  • 02The bill's eligible list puts advanced digital design and construction management tools in the same bucket as meters and sensors, which would give a utility's capital delivery team a claim on the same grant as its field operations group.
  • 03The existing pilot program's authorization runs through 2026, per WaterWorld; the bill would extend it to 2028, and its last reported status was 'introduced' as of Aug. 12, 2025.
