An estimated 300 employees of the Thyssen Krupps factory in Llanelli gathered to voice their concerns that up to 160 out of 700 jobs could be lost. Union leaders told the Krupp employees that the plant's management was flouting signed agreements, which set out standard procedures over where cuts should be made. A number of Welsh companies still supply the Longbridge plant, and it is essential that their interests are not ignored by the task force Plaid AM Phil Williams The workers decided unanimously to tell the company that it must consult the union and consider voluntary redundancies and a range of other measures before taking action.“

BBC News | WALES | Welsh industry's year of highs and lows (#)

„Raw materials purchased in expensive dollars, are then turned into steel priced in sterling and have to compete against cheaper Euro-zone competition. These same circumstances have taken a toll in other industries, such as motor components, consumer electronics and textiles, with major firms like Krupps Camford, Sony, Alcan, Panasonic and Courtaulds all being forced to cut back heavily. Significantly, membership of the euro stopped being seen as a panacea to industry's troubles. The UK enjoyed a healthy trade surplus against euro-zone economies; evidence that, despite the travails of manufacturing, "UK Plc" continued to enjoy a period of relative buoyancy.“

Urban: The Urban Age Magazine: City Economy Issue (#)

„At the beginning of the 19th century, the Ruhr area (the Ruhrgebiet) of Germany, which includes the principal cities of Essen, Dortmund, Bochum, Gelsenkirchen and Duisberg, grew rapidly, mainly due to the coal, iron steel and later chemical industries. The Ruhr’s development was driven by massive, locally based industrial corporations such as Krupps and Thyssen. From this period until the end of the Second World War, the Ruhr was the industrial heartland and armament center of Germany.“

View topic - how to make espresso at home - its not working for me - Coffee Forum (#)

„I have just moved into a household that has a cheesy espresso maker, so I am trying to produce some palatable espresso drinks. The machine is a Krupps IL Primo. I have been experimenting with the amount of water I put into the machine, the amount that I tamp the coffee, the number of seconds that I pull the shots, the amount of steam left for the milk. A few times the combination has produced great results, but it is extremely inconsistent.“

CoffeeGeek - Rancilio Silvia - Matthew Smith's Review (#)

„Although a little more complex in operation to the "press the button, every cup just as bad" than the Krupps, Silvia rewards the time taken to learn how to use her.   I have read comments suggesting that Silvia can be tricky to use but then a car (automobile) can be tricky to drive on the first attempt.  Perseverance will be rewarded.“

CoffeeGeek - Gaggia Classic Machine - Damian Copeland's Review (#)

„I‘d been using a £65 Krupps (toy) machine for a while, and it just basically fell to bits.  The basket on the Classic weighs more than the whole Krupps machine, it‘s that solid.  I tried about a dozen other machines before I bought this, and I reckon for the price it must be hard to beat.“

„All comments about ease of pouring are true. Also the coffe is hotter than my Krupps would make, and tastes better. I think it may because it brews a little slower. The only thing that is slightly awkward is pouring water from the caraffe into the coffee maker, since the lid doesn't fold up and all the way back.“

„Looking for an instruction manual for a Krupps Cappucino Maker Model 963B or at least how to clean the inside. Can it be done with vinegar, like a coffee maker? Thanks!“
