Laguna Technopark Cares Beyond Air with 10-K Fun Run

In line with their drive to Care Beyond Air and go beyond business, Atlas Copco Philippines partnered with Laguna Technopark Association, Inc. (LTAI) to successfully hold the 2009 LTA 10-K EKIDEN last May 23, 2009.

LTA-based companies or locators participated in the 12th edition of the EKIDEN. Ekiden means “fun run” in Japanese.

Winners all of them

Running the 10K is no joke. But because of the scores of spectators and supporters that lined the course, these runners pushed themselves to the limit.

Everybody went home a winner. The top 3 teams were awarded with individual medals and custom-built wood trophies, plus special items from the sponsors. The rest also got special items from the sponsors.

Faster and faster

The starting gun fired at 7 am, and the race was expected to end at around 10 am. But with the very fast times clocked in, it all ended under 9 am. Mr. Jonnie Regis, Atlas Copco CT General Manager, said, “Another year, another fantastic run! We hope to see more teams battle it out next year.”

Caring Beyond Air

Caring Beyond Air has become Atlas Copco Philippines’ way of life. It is the company’s vision to become and remain First in Mind – First in Choice of both external and internal customers by going beyond business and building on relationships with fellow employees, customers, business partners, shareholders, to society and the environment.

Maximize your earnings with our GN Compressors

Nitrogen is all around us. When used to replace oxygen and other gases in tire inflation, it enhances handling, improves fuel efficiency, extends tire life, protects the Earth and, most importantly, keeps you safer on the road.

Big Deal

Proper tire pressure is a big deal. Maintain it with nitrogen, and you'll see these three primary benefits:

Increased Fuel Efficiency – Correct tire pressure keeps the manufacturer's recommended “contact patch” on the road. This lessens the rolling resistance and maximizes fuel efficiency.

Longer Tire Life – When it comes in contact with other materials, oxygen causes oxidation. Oxidation can make rubber brittle and cause it to lose tensile strength. In addition, at high temperatures and pressures, oxygen reacts and damages inner tire liners and belt packages; nitrogen does not.

Increased Safety – Under-inflated tires cause 90% of blowouts. Nitrogen provides more reliable pressure for reduced blowout potential.
