Michael D. Brunton: Publisher With A Passion For Excellence BY DAN BRUNTON It is with the deepest regret that we inform of the death of Michael Da- vid Brunton. He suffered a massive stroke and sadly never recovered. He passed away on Wednesday, March 3, 2021. He was 73 years old. Michael was born in Farhnam, Surrey, England, on March 21, 1947. He was the eldest child of David and Margaret Brunton and he was born

in the house built by his grand- father. Being born into a military family, Michael’s global ‘travels’ began from an early age. He ac- companied the family to Ankara, Turkey, at the age of five, where his father had accepted a military advisor’s role for two years. By the age of seven he was fluent in Turkish. The next move came as Michael was about to turn eight, when his father was posted to Osnabrück in Germany. Michael and his younger brother Tony, were sent to board- ing school in England from an early age and were looked after

Michael Brunton

by their grandmother in Farnham during short school breaks. Fortu- nately for them and their younger sister Chrissie, Major Brunton was posted back to the UK, where the family were based in Catterick and then Tidworth, giving the family a chance to spend some time in the UK. Schooling was undertaken at Yateley Manor, but Michael’s interest was never in the classroom, more on the sports field, playing football to a very high level, as well as gymnastics and diving. He was crowned Under 21 High Board Diving Champion for the South of England when he was only 16, training alongside Brian Phelps, the Olympic and Com- monwealth champion. Military Passion Army life was in his blood! In 1968, Michael was Commissioned at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst as an Officer into The 3rd Car- abiniers (Prince of Wales Dragoon Guards), following in the footsteps of his father. He had tours of duty in Cyprus, Libya and the UK, before leaving the army in 1971 at the time of the amalgamation of his regi- ment, The 3rd Carabiniers with the Royal Scots Greys.

ISM: Manufacturing Grows Again In February, As Does Economy Economic activity in the manufacturing sector grew in Feb- ruary, with the overall economy notching a ninth consecu- tive month of growth, say the nation’s supply executives in the latest Manufacturing ISM Report On Business. The report was issued by Timothy R. Fiore, CPSM, C.P.M., Chair of the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Manufacturing Business Survey Committee: “The February Manufacturing PMI registered 60.8 per- cent, an increase of 2.1 percentage points from the Janu- ary reading of 58.7 percent. This figure indicates expan- sion in the overall economy for the ninth month in a row after contraction in March, April, and May. The New Orders Index registered 64.8 percent, up 3.7 percentage points from the January reading of 61.1 percent.

“The Production Index registered 63.2 percent, an in- crease of 2.5 percentage points compared to the Janu- ary reading of 60.7 percent. The Backlog of Orders Index registered 64 percent, 4.3 percentage points above the January reading of 59.7 percent. The Employment Index registered 54.4 percent, 1.8 percentage points higher from the January reading of 52.6 percent. The Supplier Deliver- ies Index registered 72 percent, up 3.8 percentage points from the January figure of 68.2 percent. “The Inventories Index registered 49.7 percent, 1.1 per- centage points lower than the January reading of 50.8 percent. The Prices Index registered 86 percent, up 3.9 percentage points compared to the January reading of 82.1 percent. The New Export Orders Index registered 57.2 percent, an increase of 2.3 percentage points compared to the January reading of 54.9 percent. The Imports Index registered 56.1 percent, a 0.7 percentage point decrease from the January reading of 56.8 percent.”

“The manufacturing economy continued recovering in February. Committee mem- bers reported that their companies and suppliers continue to operate in reconfig- ured factories. Issues with absenteeism, short-term shutdowns to sanitize facilities, and hiring workers remain challenges and continue to cause strains that limit manu- facturing-growth potential. Optimistic panel sentiment increased, with five positive com- ments for every cautious comment, com- pared to a 3-to-1 ratio in January. “Demand expanded, with the (1) New Orders Index growing at a strong level, supported by the New Export Orders Index expanding at a faster rate, (2) Customers’ Inventories Index remaining in ‘too low’ territory (at 32.5 percent, tying its all-time low), and the (3) Backlog of Orders Index growing 4.3 percentage points compared to January. “Consumption (measured by the Pro- duction and Employment indexes) contrib- uted positively (a combined 4.3-percentage point increase) to the Manufacturing PMI- calculation. Five of the top six industries re- ported moderate to strong expansion. “The Employment Index expanded for the third straight month, but panelists con- tinue to note significant difficulties in attract- ing and retaining labor at their companies and supplier facilities. Inputs — expressed as supplier deliveries, inventories and im- ports — continued to indicate input-driv- en constraints to production expansion, at higher rates compared to January, as indi- cated by the Inventories Index returning to contraction territory and another month of

40 ft of paper travel from preheater to hot plates 3 seconds of heat, glue and bonding 1 chance to get it right! the ZONE

Design & Production

Chicago Electric offers 10 technology solutions to control ‘the Zone’ CORRUGATOR Sectoral preheating plate

Our sectoral preheating plates provide direct heat by means of a double steam circuit, allowing for efficient heating in hard-to-access locations, as well as to act as a steam shower to open the paper’s fibre, making it receptive to absorbing the heat and the glue.

This translates into increased speed and improved quality of the cardboard sheet finish.

The system’s main advantages are as follows:

• The plate may only be used to heat, only to humidify, or both options at the same time. • The plate is sectored, which allows for applying humidity to the sections. • It provides temperature in previously inaccessible locations and near the location needed. • It compensates the loss of temperature dissipated due to distance, speed or limitations of the exiting preheaters. • Quick transferring of heat to the paper. • The combination of the hot plate and steam shower allows for providing heat even to the hardest papers to heat. • Does not dry out the paper. • Possibility of operating as a humidifier and pre-conditioner. • Maintains and improves the fibre’s elasticity. • Acts according to the operator’s needs. • Facilitates the paper’s hygroscopy to absorb the glue and improve rubberising.

calibrations and settings. Bar systems avoid this, but compensate this with the risk of exces- sive glue application. The system contains many wearing parts. Solution The contact roll combines the ad antage of both systems and ensures minimum contact between board and applicator roll. The system uses small pneumatic cylinders in order to achieve a “soft touch.”

Roller Shoe Press When it comes to a short-term increas of web tension, spring loaded systems with shoes or airpressure activated system have problems in compensating these. The system is lifted for a short time. This may result in de-lamination and in the ‘double kiss’ effect. Solution For a defined and exact bonding point of the web fiv weight rollers will be installed usually over the first flat hotplate of the heating section. The rolls are mounted into a frame, which is actuated by means of two pneumatic cylinders. P oductivity Issu —Double Kiss Bonding

slowing supplier delivery performance. Imports marginally slowed in the period, driven by port backlogs. The Prices Index expanded for the ninth consecutive month, indicat- ing continued supplier pricing power and scarcity of sup- ply chain goods. “Of the six biggest manufacturing industries, five — Chemical Products; Fabricated Metal Products; Transpor- tation Equipment; Computer & Electronic Products; and Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products — registered strong growth in February. Petroleum & Coal Products moderate- ly contracted. “Manufacturing performed well for the ninth straight month, with demand, consumption and inputs registering strong growth compared to January. Labor-market diffi- culties at panelists’ companies and their suppliers contin- ued to restrict manufacturing-economy expansion and will remain the primary headwind to production growth until employment levels and factory operations can return to normal across the entire supply chain,” says Fiore. Of the 18 manufacturing industries, 16 reported growth in February, among them: Textile Mills; Electrical Equip- ment, Appliances & Components; Paper Products; Chem- ical Products; Machinery; Fabricated Metal Products; ; Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products; Miscellaneous Man- ufacturing; Furniture & Related Products; and Nonmetallic Mineral Products.

Edmund Bradatsch, Formerly Of BHS, Dies At 80 In Weiden, Germany Edmund Bradatsch, who with Paul Engel laid the foun- dation for BHS Corrugated Maschinen-und Anlagenbau

lagenbau GmbH as managing director and shareholder. He had already withdrawn from the day to day operations and as a shareholder in 2003, but he continued to act in an advisory capacity for the current shareholders of BHS Corrugated. He has been a fatherly, reliable advisor to his partner’s sons, Christian and Lars Engel, over the years. In 1999, he brought the “harvest of a busy life,” as he said himself at the time, into the Edmund Bradatsch Foundation. He and his wife Helga, who had no children of their own, wanted to give back to students. In doing so, he wanted to personally thank his own sponsors, who gave him the opportunity to study mechanical engineering at the Oskar von Miller Polytechnic as a young man. The purpose of the private foundation is to support students. It also aims to promote science at the universities in Re- gensburg, Amberg and Weiden. From 2000 to 2020, over 220,000 Euros was paid out to 152 students. In 2017 Bradatsch was awarded honorary citizenship at the BHS Corrugated 300th anniversary celebration by the Weiherhammer community. In December 2020, he was able to celebrate his 80th birthday in good health and spirit at his residence in Weiden and the news of his death was unexpected. While extremely saddened by the loss it is with pride that we recall all the great accomplishments and impact Bradatsch had on BHS Corrugated, the lives of those of us who had the privilege of working with him, the countless customers who became friends, and all the students his foundation has touched.

GmbH in Weiherhammer, Ger- many, passed away on Febru- ary 1, 2021, at 80 years old. Bradatsch was born on De-

cember 19th, 1940, in Velenic (Gmünd, Czech Republic). His family moved to Upper Bavaria after the war and finally to Mu- nich in 1956. At Krauss-Maffei AG in Munich, he completed an apprenticeship as an industrial clerk and then went on to study mechanical engineering in Munich. He was associated with the BHS company in Weiher- hammer, where he worked in development, design, test- ing and technical sales. In 1990, he founded his own sales company with Paul Engel and in the middle of 1993 the two, Bradatsch and Engel, together with other sharehold- ers, took over the BHS Weiherhammer company and in- corporated it into today’s BHS Corrugated Maschinen-und Anlagenbau GmbH. For seven-and-a-half years Bradatsch headed sales and technology at BHS Corrugated Maschinen-und An- Edmund Bradatsch
