The SID Congress 2025 in Chicago was a fantastic mix of precision machining expertise, global collaboration, and great conversations. Hosted every two years, the congress brings together eight national associations from Europe and North America—and this year’s theme, “Better Together,” couldn’t have been more fitting.

A Week of Learning and Inspiration
Delegates explored cutting-edge technologies, visited top-tier machining companies like DMG MORI, Reader Precision Solutions and Camcraft, and shared ideas that will shape the future of our industry.

People and precision 
WhizCut was proud to join the Swedish delegation alongside Skärteknikcentrum Sverige (SKTC).
– It’s always inspiring to see how much we can learn from each other when we come together across borders, says Chris Schmidt, Managing Director of WhizCut and Chairman of SKTC.
– The SID Congress is a reminder that innovation thrives in collaboration—and that the machining industry is as much about people as it is about precision.

Thank You & See You in the UK!
A big thank you to PMPA and everyone who made the event such a success. We’re already looking forward to the next SID Congress in Stratford-upon-Avon, UK, in 2027!
