Everybody welcome
More than 75 guests from different fields were there. Visitors from construction, utilities, manufacturing, mining and even students were treated to the latest innovations and technologies in the field of Portable Compressed Air Applications and Power Generation.After being personally welcomed by Jonnie Regis, the Country General Manager, the guests had the opportunity to be taught by the best in the industry.
Albert Cantuba, Portable Air Business Line Manager, gave an overview on the Portable Air industry. He said, “We treat our customers as partners. And as partners, we want to give them the best available solutions for their specific Portable Air needs.”
He was followed by Rainier Javier, Portable Air Senior Product Engineer, who showed them “Innovations in Compressed Air Technology and Applications” that were aimed to maximize benefits for the users’ superior productivity. Jet Paningbatan, Portable Air Senior Product Engineer, then delved on “Revolutionizing Productivity in Action,” where he presented best practices and customer testimonials that have gone from productivity to profits.Beat Marbacher, Southeast Asia Business Development Manager, capped the session by explaining Atlas Copco’s total portable air solutions. From financing terms to energy conservation, he showed partners how to get the full Atlas Copco Portable Air experience.
Building a foundation
We invited students and faculty from different technical schools to learn more about air compressors and to give them a crack at hands-on experience. Dr. Manny Belino, Mapua Institute of Technology Mechanical Engineering Department Chair, brought some of his students over. He said that the Roadshow gave them an opportunity to know more about compressed air theory. But more importantly, it gave them the chance to get out of their classrooms and see theory in action.Realizing the importance of real world and practical applications, he added, “I am pleased to meet you and the rest of Atlas Copco's staff during your roadshow. I am interested for Mapua to forge an MOA with Atlas Copco for our OJT requirements, plant visits and other similar activities.”
Hopefully, this would be a start of a productive partnership not just between Atlas Copco and Mapua, but also to other schools.
Worth the effort
We’ve got to admit that Laguna may be a bit far from Manila. So to make things more worthwhile for our guests, we raffled off 10 Caltex pre-paid fuel cards worth P1,000 each to ease the fuel crunch. For our coffee lovers, we also gave away 8 Starbucks gift checks worth P500 each, and 5 Starbucks mugs. And for the main prizes, we gave away 2 Apple 3rd generation 4 gig Ipod Nanos!To complete the Roadshow, we had a Machine Expo, where the guests had the chance to view and actually operate the air compressors, generator sets and tools.
