Sciaky Shipping Three "Tunnel Sized" EB Welding Systems
Sciaky Inc. announces shipment of the first of three Large EBW Machines to Overseas Customers.
CHICAGO, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Sciaky, Inc. of Chicago has announced shipment of a VX-300 Electron Beam Welding machine in May 2025. This machine will be followed by two additional machines of similar layout to overseas customers. These machines will each feature a chamber size of 300″ x 110″ x 110″, and a work envelope of 250″ x 42″ x 60″. These machines will ship with standard 5-axis CNC controls and EB welding capabilities, with the accommodations for additional CNC Axes and EBAM capability in the future. The machines will be used primarily in the Aerospace and Semiconductor industries, but will have the flexibility to be useful for any future business these customers acquire.
Sciaky has been newsworthy for the past decade with their developments in Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing, but these machine contracts highlight their world leadership in Electron Beam Welding machines. Known for their medium and large-chamber moving gun EBW machines, Sciaky has installations in US-based and international installations in the Aerospace, Power Generation, Automotive, and Oil/Gas Exploration fields. These machines will feature multi-axis heavy-duty machines with up to 42kW of beam power, EBW users have been using Sciaky Electron Beam technology since the early 1960's for the most demanding and precise metal joining tasks.
According to Scott Phillips, CEO of Sciaky's parent company Phillips Service Industries, Inc.: 'We find that too many in the industry do not realize that our EBAM platform is a truly dual-use technology, where every EBAM machine retains it's full functionality as a CNC Electron Beam Welder. In the past, this has helped many of our machine buyers in their justification to purchase a machine. We feel this makes our product somewhat unique in the Welding and Additive Manufacturing worlds.' Historically, Sciaky will have multiple machines of both capabilities in process in process in our Chicago manufacturing facility. You can approach the engineering staff at Sciaky for application assistance for both EBAM and EBW projects that can range from equipment acquisition through prototypes, development or one of a kind production.

Favorable biz environment fuels South Asian culinary ventures in China
A waiter arranges tableware in the dining room of a South-Asian food restaurant in Lanzhou, northwest China's Gansu Province on May 15, 2025. – Xinhua photo LANZHOU (June 12): Mint-green sofas, glistening crystal wall lamps, mosaic-tiled walls, and the rich aroma of spiced South Asian cuisine – every detail of Imran Ali's restaurant exudes exotic charm, which has helped it become a hit on social media in Lanzhou, capital city of northwest China's Gansu Province. Hailing from Islamabad, the 33-year-old Pakistani businessman came to China in 2012 to pursue higher education. Over the next 13 years, his culinary journey across the country deepened his appreciation for Chinese cuisine and his emotional connection with China. Upon graduation, he chose to stay and channel his passion for food into a full-fledged career in the restaurant industry. 'China's culinary landscape is incredibly diverse, while diners here are open to trying new things, especially young people who see food as a way to connect and socialise,' Ali said. 'That's why I wanted to introduce authentic South Asian flavors to more Chinese cities.' Ali and his Chinese friends opened five South-Asian food restaurants in Jiangxi and Shanxi provinces years ago, which served as a catalyst for their expansion. Encouraged by their success, he set his sights on a broader market. In October 2024, he launched a new restaurant in Lanzhou. A chef prepares a dish in the kitchen of a South-Asian food restaurant in Lanzhou, northwest China's Gansu Province on May 15, 2025. – Xinhua photo The region's multi-ethnic population and traditional preference for beef, lamb, and wheat-based dishes felt instantly familiar to Ali and gave him confidence in his venture. 'Foreign and Chinese entrepreneurs are treated equally here. The process for business registration, food service licensing, and other formalities is highly efficient and convenient,' Ali emphasised, adding that the friendly business environment made it possible for the smooth opening of his restaurant. In fact, China has been actively improving its business climate nationwide. Government departments are working to offer high-quality services to support foreign investors. Thanks to the favorable local policies, Ali secured all necessary permits including different licenses and certifications within a month. Over the past six months, the business had exceeded expectations, with daily revenue surpassing 20,000 yuan (about US$2,780). According to Ali, the restaurant attracts diverse customers, including international students from Pakistan, Iran, India, and Saudi Arabia, alongside curious young Chinese foodies drawn by its growing reputation. But for Ali, this is just the beginning. The ambitious businessman is now preparing to open another restaurant in Hainan, China's southernmost province, next month. Inspired by the potential of Hainan Free Trade Port, Ali sees the island as a gateway to global opportunities and a new base for sharing South Asian cuisine. 'My dream is to bring South Asian delicacies to people in every province of China. 'This is my way of deepening our bilateral friendship between our two countries,' Ali said, crediting China's welcoming environment and streamlined business policies that helped to turn his vision into reality. – Xinhua China culinary South Asian Xinhua

AirAsia close to buying at least 100 Airbus jets
AirAsia operates an all-Airbus fleet and has previously said it was looking to add smaller planes to its fleet for regional routes. PARIS: AirAsia is in advanced discussions to place an order for at least 100 Airbus jets at next week's Paris Airshow, a deal likely to mark the introduction to its fleet of the planemaker's smallest jet, the A220, industry sources say. Malaysia-based low-cost carrier AirAsia operates an all-Airbus fleet and has previously said it was looking to add smaller planes to its fleet for regional routes. One of Airbus's biggest customers with a few hundred planes already on order, the airline has not placed an order since before the pandemic. It has taken few deliveries in recent years and has been steadily restructuring its order book as it faced financial difficulties. The company, hard hit by pandemic travel restrictions, was classified by Malaysia's stock exchange as financially distressed in 2022. It says it hopes to exit this status by the middle of this year. Capital A plans to sell its AirAsia aviation business to long-haul unit AirAsia X to consolidate long and short-haul operations under a single AirAsia brand. — Reuters
