The Interface 5600 2-Axis Axial Torsion Load Cell combines compressive force and torsional moment measurement in a single flange-mount transducer, capturing both at the same point for demanding test and measurement rigs. Its compact, multi-axis design reduces fixture complexity compared with separate axial and torque sensors, freeing space around test specimens and simplifying alignment. For mining equipment OEMs and materials labs, the unit supports more accurate characterisation of drill strings, couplings and rotating components under combined loading.

Drywall manufacturer Siniat has achieved a 5% reduction in carbon intensity across its plasterboard products following a £170m upgrade of its Bristol HQ production line (opened March 2025) and improvements at its Ferrybridge plant, enabling retirement of older, less energy‑efficient equipment. The programme forms part of parent company Etex’s target to cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 35% using higher recycled content, lower energy intensity per tonne and a zero‑waste‑to‑landfill approach. Verified Environmental Product Declarations now cover over 86% of Siniat products, giving designers and contractors project‑level carbon data aligned with UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard reporting.

Niron Magnetics has secured a $150 million loan from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community and a conditional $150 million, 20‑year direct loan commitment from the US Department of War’s Office of Strategic Capital to build its first full‑scale iron nitride magnet plant in Sartell, Minnesota. The facility, targeting start-up in 2027, will manufacture rare-earth-free iron nitride permanent magnets, aiming to establish a domestic supply for defence and other critical industries. For materials and mining suppliers, the project signals growing demand for iron-based magnet feedstocks and equipment for end-to-end magnet manufacturing lines.
