Vernon Hills, IL, United States
When 20-year-old Danish blacksmith Vilhelm Petersen sailed into Boston Harbor, little did he know that his journey would lead to the establishment of American Tool Companies, Inc. In 1902, "Bill" Petersen settled in Minden, Nebraska, where he worked for a fellow Danish blacksmith, keeping horses shod, plow shares sharpened and wagons repaired. Bill Petersen was an inventor at heart. With the introduction of the automobile and farm tractor, blacksmithing was on the decline. During the long Nebraska winters, Petersen experimented with his ideas. In 1921, he invented and patented a unique wrench with a "vise-like" grip. By 1924, Petersen had refined his invention by adding a locking lever. He patented the enhanced tool and gave it an innovative name that would become world famous: VISE-GRIP® locking pliers. He registered the distinctive clasped hands logo, a symbol that today represents the most recognized hand tool brand in the world. American Tool Companies, Inc., led by Allen Petersen, the founder’s grandson, has evolved into a leading global manufacturer and marketer of hand tools, cutting tools and power tool accessories. The company has more than 4,400 employees and manufacturing facilities throughout North America, Europe, Brazil, and the Pacific Rim. Today, its product lines include VISE-GRIP locking pliers, clamps and wrenches, IRWIN® wood boring and cutting tools, QUICK-GRIP® clamping products, RECORD® hand tools, MARPLES® woodworking tools, JACK® hand saws, POWERPRESS® pipe clamps, TURBOMAX® drill bits, PROSNIP® snips, MARATHON® and SPRINT® saw blades, UNIBIT® step drills, HANSON® taps, dies and drills, CHESCO® hex tools, SPEEDBOR® wood boring bits, and STRAIT-LINE® marking tools. Quite a dramatic change from the day a young Danish immigrant traveled to America and established his place in history.

Chennai, India
The Port of Chennai, located on the North-East tip of the state of Tamil Nadu, is an artificial harbour on the Coromandel coast of Southern India. The port serves to a well-developed hinterland extended over the Southern states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. The port was conceived long back in 1875 with the construction of harbours. During the period of Second World War between 1939-45, the port felt acute congestion due to high influx of materials. This had driven the need for capacity enhancement of the port to cater to the increasing levels of cargo movement. The Government initiated a decisive approach towards capacity expansion of the port. Jawahar Dock was then commissioned in 1964 with the financial assistance of World Bank. An outer harbour was commissioned in 1971 as a part of the ports continuous development. The new member of the Chennai Port family was christened as Bharati Dock. During the post-independence era, the port of Chennai has evolved as one of the major container handling ports of the country conforming to all international standards. The port of Chennai is fast emerging as a preferred destination for export of non-traditional cargo like cars and industrial boilers. Future plan The port has created 10,000 sq. metres of concreted yard for parking of cars and is looking forward to become a specialised car exporting port of the country.

The Containerization & Intermodal Institute (CII) was founded as a non-profit professional trade organization in 1960 when containerization was still very much in its infancy as a mode of shipping. CII established industry forums and seminars at which transportation professionals could learn about this new commercial phenomena known as the container. Topics covered everything from intermodalism, to container standards to how corner castings worked. Today the container is everywhere – the foundational building block of a global economy. Likewise, CII has evolved. The core mission of the group continues to center on education. CII provides educational opportunities through existing programs and initiatives, including educational outreach, scholarships, and award programs.
