Start with the news release
Nitrogen generators cut costs of food packaging from
Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Phil Green, at Parker Hannifin's industrial division, explains how the latest nitrogen-generation technology can help food and beverage companies increase their operational efficiency and cut costs. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release WEG motors drive Brazilian theme-park attractions from
WEG Electric Motors: "WEG motors, inverters and soft starters are allowing the safe operation of equipment at the Beto Carrero World theme park, located in Santa Catarina, Brazil. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Emerson Process Management
- take a look at Emerson installs controls at Korean plants
which says: "Emerson Process Management has been selected by Korea Southern East Power Company (KOSEP) to install its Ovation expert control system at two power generation facilities in Korea. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Kabelschlepp Metool, Kabelschlepp cable carriers reduce ESD risk,
as well as Vishay enters strategic partnership with Schneider from Vishay Nobel,
and Nexans to supply ice-resistant control system from Nexans.
