According the DDPS strategy all of our customers should deal with only one representative for all three product lines De Dietrich, Rosenmund and QVF in order to transfer the DDPS competence into customer's benefit.

During the Glass-Lining sales meeting in Mainz feedback of the current market situation was given to adjust our approach. While there are only few new big projects coming up for the German market in 2005, there seams to be a big need for upgrading existing equipment according to new European regulations and to optimise their performance. Three important keywords are:

• upgrade of existing DIN-reactors into an OPTIMIX during re-glassing (optimised mixing)
• ATEX certified Stirrer Drives (conformity to regulations)
• CleanValves according to TA-Luft (environmental legislation)

Our customers will be approached with a new upgrade brochure in order to make cost saving proposals.
