Start with the news release E-learning training is tailored to specific needs from Corus Northern Engineering Services, which we summarised at the time by saying "Corus Northern Engineering Services now offers a range of e-learning training courses to customers outside of the Corus Group, tailored to the customer's specific needs". A few weeks before, we featured the news release Transmission system protects forklift tyres from Lamerholm Electronics: "The Lamerholm TP transmission protection system saves tyres and protects transmission when operating forklift trucks, saving companies up to 300% of their tyre costs".
 
In January 2007, we covered the news from DLoG (UK) - take a look at Vehicle mount and mobile terminals on show which says: "Shopfloor networking and hardware specialist DLoG UK will promote its X series range of vehicle mount and mobile terminals, including the new X10/X12, at IMHX".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Pyroban, Safety systems set for showing at IMHX, as well as Industrial chargers are supported in South Africa from AccelRate Power Systems, and Bearing developments from SKF UK.
