🥳 10-års jubilæum på Macartney Hydraulics A/S

I sidste uge fejrede vi at Michael Jensen, i daglig tale kaldet Vuk, havde 10-års jubilæum.

Vuk er et tilnavn, som kommer fra en gammel dansk film hvor Vuk fikser alt. Sådan er Michael nemlig også hos os.

Det er blevet til 10 år flere forskellige steder rundt i produktionen og nu i rollen som PTA-medarbejder.

🍔 Vi markerede Michaels jubilæum ved fælles frokost med foodtruck: lækre burgere og pommes frites.

👏🏻 Tillykke med jubilæet Michael.

Over the past 10 years, Michael has worked in various areas of production and is now a PTA employee.

🍔 We marked Michael's anniversary with a lunch featuring a food truck serving delicious burgers and fries.

Congratulations on your anniversary, Michael!

Celebrating a 40th Anniversary at Macartney Hydraulics A/S 🎉

Today marks a very special milestone. On December 10, 1984, at the age of 22, Arne Overby began his journey at what was then called Klinkby Maskinfabrik. Since then, he has been an invaluable part of our team.

Arne started his career at the CNC lathe, moved on to the welding department, and eventually became a permanent member of the assembly department. His knowledge and experience make him our go-to person when work-related questions arise. Often, you hear colleagues say: "Just ask Arne."

Arne has worked at the same place for 40 years – an achievement that can feel surreal but which he also describes as very satisfying. "Otherwise, I wouldn't be here," he says with a smile.

To new colleagues, Arne has simple but wise advice: Show up to work with a positive attitude.

We are incredibly proud to have Arne on our team and greatly appreciate him as a colleague.

Congratulations on your anniversary, Arne! 🎉👏

Fejring af et 40-års jubilæum hos Macartney Hydraulics A/S 🎉

I dag markerer vi en helt særlig milepæl. Den 10. december 1984 begyndte Arne Overby sin rejse hos det, der dengang hed Klinkby Maskinfabrik, som en ung mand på 22 år. Siden da har han været en uvurderlig del af vores team.

Arne startede sin karriere ved CNC-drejeren, bevægede sig videre til svejseafdelingen, og blev til sidst en fast del af montageafdelingen. Hans viden og erfaring gør ham til vores go-to person, når der opstår arbejdsrelaterede spørgsmål. Ofte hører man kollegaer sige: "Prøv lige at høre Arne".

Arne har arbejdet samme sted i 40 år – en bedrift, der kan føles surrealistisk, men som han også beskriver som meget tilfredsstillende. "Ellers var jeg her jo ikke," deler han med et smil.

Til nye kolleger har Arne et simpelt, men klogt råd: Mød positivt op på arbejde.

Vi er utrolig stolte af at have Arne på vores hold og sætter stor pris på ham som kollega. Tillykke med jubilæet, Arne! 🎉👏

🤝 Meet an Employee: Robert

No company can exist without employees, and we are proud of ours.

Please meet Robert Cwiek.
Robert is 45 years old and from Poland, but now lives in Lemvig. He came to Denmark 10 years ago and has been working with us ever since. He started as a welder and, due to his interest, taught himself to operate the robotic welder. Now, he is the Welding Team Lead. Over the years, his wife, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law have also started working here.

Initially, Robert spoke German with his colleagues, having worked in Austria for 5 years. He quickly attended a language school and now speaks fluent Danish with all his colleagues.

🚵‍♂️ If you drive to and from MacArtney Hydraulics in the morning or afternoon, you will almost always see Robert cycling or running. He is always in a good mood, ready to help, and happy to be here. He says, "I will be here until I retire."

We are also happy to have Robert as part of our team 😊

Exciting news from the forefront of marine energy innovation!

We're happy to announce that MacArtney's proven GreenLink solution will connect cutting-edge technology at U.S.-based PacWave South, supporting Oregon State University's full-scale wave energy test facility for alternative power sources 🌊.

"OSU sought expert advice from several companies during the design phase of PacWave South," said Dan Hellin, PacWave's Deputy Director. "MacArtney was consistently one of the most responsive and helpful. We were therefore delighted when our contractor, RT Casey, selected MacArtney as the supplier of the dry-mate connectors for the PacWave test site."

MacArtney supplies five half GreenLink terminations for the system's four power transmission cables, including the termination work. Four halves are allocated to the test site, and one is to mate and test them, hence connecting client-supplied dynamic cables or umbilicals.

Besides enabling seamless integration at PacWave South, GreenLink's scalability and efficiency make it suitable for both large commercial projects and small-scale systems. This could potentially benefit remote communities currently dependent on diesel for energy, perfectly aligning with OSU's goal of exploring wave energy as a reliable power source for remote areas.

Connectivity for everyone, everything and everywhere.

✅ This MacArtney saying is verified in the video with a deep-sea squid caught on camera at a depth of more than a kilometre subsea.

👉 https://youtube.com/shorts/5nGsZ7RzW2A?si=hrXoHxGZwzgortZh

A Dana Octopus squid was recently curious about a lander, including a camera and a SubConn connector in the South Pacific.

🦑 The deep-sea hooked squid, one of the largest deep-water squids, has two large photophores on its arms that emit bright bioluminescent flashes to disorient prey.

A team from the Minderoo-UWA Deep Sea Research Centre, including chief scientist Heather Stewart from Kelpie Geosciences UK, captured the footage while deploying baited cameras near the Samoan Passage.
