👏 Congratulations Simon!

Simon is one of our five industrial technician apprentices.

He has just completed his final exam, which consists of two individual tests, one theory test, and one group project. For the group project, the team created an impressive scaled-down floating offshore wind turbine.

🎯 Simon achieved an overall grade of 12, which is outstanding!

Fortunately, Simon will continue working with us after he completes his apprenticeship in January.

Tillykke Simon!

Simon er én af vores 5 industriteknikker-lærlinge.

Han har været til den afsluttende fagprøve, som består af 2 individuelle prøver, 1 teoriprøve samt én gruppeopgave. I gruppeopgaven lavede de en imponerende, flydende havvindmølle, skaleret ned.

Simon endte med en samlet karakter på 12 og hold da op hvor er det flot!

Når Simon er færdigudlært, i januar, fortsætter han heldigvis hos os.

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 😊

Welcome to the Nakamura JX-200!

🙌 It felt almost like Christmas last week when we received our new machine, the Nakamura JX-200.

✅ This machine is a modern and advanced machining centre, and our skilled staff is ready to handle it. We are excited to integrate it into our daily operations.

We made a video of its installation, which went smoothly.

🙏 A big thank you to Bøje Kran & Maskintransport A/S, Nakamura’s installation technician, and Betina & Dennis for documenting it.

Well done!

To celebrate the achievement of another milestone, MacArtney Hydraulics recently brought in a hot dog stand for the lunch break.

☀️Sunshine and 🌭 hot dogs… it doesn’t get much better than that.

Thanks to everyone for their dedication.

Supporting the future of Marine engineering

A huge congratulations to team Desert WAVE 🌵🤖 🌊
(Women in Autonomous Vehicle Engineering) .

🥇 The collegiate robotics team recently competed in and won the 27th International Robosub Competition among 41 other teams from 8 countries.

Dragon and Baby Dragon - the team's robots - work in tandem and are crammed with SubConn connectors.

MacArtney's Beto Campos was more than happy to assist in selecting the correct connectivity solution for the project:

"The robotics program was originally started by Faridodin "Fredi" Lajvardi, a former high school teacher at Carl Hayden High School in Phoenix. Throughout the program and robotics development, the teams have used our SubConn connectors for their AUVs. Sending lots of congratulations from MacArtney to team Desert Wave, and look forward to the next project!"

Today, Fredi is the President / CEO and Director of STEM Initiatives for the Si Se Puede Foundation, where Desert Wave is based. The team is composed of current and recent ASU students.

Do you remember Henning?
The one we gave white gloves to earlier this year?

Henning was recently awarded the Royal Medal of Honour for over 40 years of service with MacArtney Hydraulics, and everyone in the company gathered to celebrate Henning and see the beautiful medal.

We are proud of him and happy that he occasionally drops by to visit us.

Husker i Henning?
Ham vi gav hvide handsker tidligere på året?

Det var en stor dag, da Henning for nyligt fik overrakt Den Kongelige Belønningsmedalje for over 40 år arbejde hos MacArtney Hydraulics.

Alle i virksomheden var samlet for at hylde Henning og se den flotte medalje.

Vi er stolte af ham og glæder os også over, at han en gang imellem kigger ind forbi os.

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.
