which, it is reported, is set to bring major benefits for customers in the energy, utilities and general industrial sectors.

The company is delivering product and technological workshops to major players in the sectors with the aim of educating customers about the latest developments in materials, polymer and mechatronic technology and processes while listening and learning to better understand the challenges faced by its customers.
