PowderHandling.com.au - December 2009 Newsletter:

 
Welcome...
 

Merry Christmas....to the final issue of the PowderHandling.com.au on-line newsletter for 2009. Yes, it's that time of year when we all scratch our heads and ask ourselves where the year went!

Last month, we were in Melbourne running our seminar "The Handling & Processing of Powders in the Food & Dairy Industry", which again included a Table Top Display. This event was very popular, with delegates from these important industries traveling from around Australia and NZ to attend. Many thanks to all the presenters, sponsors and exhibitors for supporting this event and helping to make it a great success. There are now a few photographs and some delegate feedback available on the website.

We are currently planning our next seminar and table top display for late February / early March, as well as other events throughout 2010. If you are interested in being part of this event as a speaker, exhibitor or sponsor, please send an email to paul@powderhandling.com.au expressing your interest and we will be in touch. The theme and agenda are still being finalised, so we are currently considering all possible contributions.

This months newsletter is sponsored by Oli Vibrators Pty Ltd, who are proud to showcase their incomparable range of off the shelf Vibrators and Flow Aids to the wider Australian market. Extensive knowledge of Vibration Technology on a global level, has qualified Oli Vibrators as the undisputed specialists in this diverse Australian market.

Their highly motivated and skilled team are dedicated to meeting every client's requirements. With an ongoing commitment to quality and excellence, Oli Vibrators will in most cases deliver within 24 to 48 hours. So whether the mining industry demands immediate action or the local pasta manufacture needs attention, they will be there to help. No more waiting for your ship to come in after 3 months downtime!

Oli Vibrator's General Manager Mark Thompson sees his ongoing mission as providing his client with the highest quality products, unbeatable service and of course, the very best price.

If you think that our seminars or newsletter would be of interest to your colleagues and associates, then do them a favour by forwarding this newsletter to them. They can then subscribe to receive their own copy every month.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
