Glyn Fargher, Anthony Salisbury, Matthew Stages, John Stewart and Kyle Weirauch in the Industrial Technique Business Area.

The team set out to come up with a rivet setter with unprecedented long life and high force requirements which proved to be a challenge as many millions of high-force cycles had to run without intervention. With the entrance of the Henrob G3 Setter Atlas Copco Group was able to present groundbreaking innovation in the field of rivet setting, designed to meet the evolving needs of modern manufacturing, and for this reason the team receives the John Munck Award.
