AMETEK Brookfield Workshop 2025: Hand-On Insights

On September 24th, 2025, the Cork International Hotel welcomed industry professionals to our second AMETEK Brookfield Workshop, hosted in partnership with Lab Unlimited Group.

Following the overwhelmingly positive feedback from our first workshop, and responding to our customers’ expectations for more in-depth training, we were delighted to organise this year’s exclusive event. With limited spaces available, participants once again enjoyed a unique blend of expert insights, live demonstrations, and collaborative knowledge-sharing.

A Truly Interactive Experience

One of the standout features of this year’s workshop was the fantastic level of interaction with participants. Attendees didn’t just observe—they brought their own material samples and worked side-by-side with Brookfield specialists to test them live. This created a dynamic, real-world learning environment where theory met practice, and every participant could see how the technology applied directly to their processes.

This approach created a vibrant environment where real-world applications met technical expertise, leading to tailored discussions, practical problem-solving, and shared discoveries that participants could immediately apply in their own labs and production processes.

What Our Participants Said

The event received outstanding feedback from professionals across multiple industries, who praised the hands-on format, access to expert knowledge, and real-world relevance:

“I found it very enjoyable and valuable. I learned new details about the viscometer spring and particle size testing that I didn’t know before.”
— Anne Curtin, PepsiCo

“The presentation was excellent. It’s great to see the instruments before buying and test them with our own samples. I’d love to see the next one extended to two days for even more hands-on training.”
— Joanna Zyskowska, Roquette

“The hands-on part was great—especially seeing challenging samples being tested. That’s where you really learn.”
— Martina O’Brien, Teagasc

“A fantastic refresher. The presentation and live rheometer training were very useful.”
— Quinsong Zou, Dairygold Feed Laboratory

“Inspiring and practical. The demonstrations were excellent and brought me up to speed on the latest viscosity measurement technologies.”
— Anonymous Attendee, Industrial Technology Sector

Together, their experiences highlight what makes the AMETEK Brookfield Workshop special: practical learning, expert-led demonstrations, and meaningful peer connections.

Organiser’s Perspective & Featured Technologies

Thomas McGrath, Event Organiser at Lab Unlimited, explained what sets this workshop apart:

“It’s a great opportunity for us to work closely with our customers and help them find solutions to their testing challenges. We keep the group small and focused, so everyone gets the support and attention they need.”

He added that the workshop is intentionally designed to be:

“A condensed, relevant, practical experience that gives hands-on exposure and the essential technical knowledge for material testing.”

This year’s demonstrations featured the latest Brookfield solutions, including the DVNext Rheometer, Viscometers, CTX Texture Analyser, RSX & RSO Rheometers, and the Powder Flow Tester. Participants explored these instruments in action with their own samples, making the training directly applicable to their work.

Looking Ahead

The AMETEK Brookfield Workshop 2025 reaffirmed its place as a must-attend event for anyone working in R&D, manufacturing, or quality control. Attendees left with new insights, stronger connections, and practical skills they could immediately apply.

As Thomas McGrath noted, these workshops remain practical, customer-focused, and intentionally small to ensure every participant gains maximum value.
