All is Well

Shane is back in the office from a very successful Investment Casting Expo.  Many new sales leads to follow-up with.  Leland and his crew at the ICI do a really bang up job of putting on this shindig.  The receptions are to die for and the expo is always well attended.  Simon and I were beyond busy our entire stint in Dearborn with sales meetings and demos.  Simon is now doing training this week for customers.  Richy remains in the "Land Down Under" with new installations, customer visits, and the AFI Expo (Australian Foundry Institute).  By all accounts, the show is being well attended and he is on the verge of signing up new customers.  When Richy finally returns to the UK, he won't be there long as he will be traveling to Zimbabwe for a new install, back to the UK, then on the road again to Turkey for a new install.

I'm busy planning out  the rest of the year for the Synchro32 team.  Simon will be back in the "New World" in November for new customer installations.  Both Richy and Simon are slated to be in North America again in early December for the final swing of 2010 with several new customer installations.  Hard to believe that it's only mid October and I'm already "closing out the year" and already deep into scheduling next year.

The 2011 Synchro32 "Road Show" will find the team attending the expos for the Metal Casting Congress, GIFA, Investment Casting Institute, and the AFI which will be in New Zealand.  I'm really looking forward to visiting Germany for the first time in my life to attend the world renowned premier event of GIFA.  As a Cold War buff, I really want to travel into what used to be known as the "Eastern Block" and see "Check Point Charlie" and the Brandenburg Gate and also the  Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry.  I'd also like to see Ramstein AFB.

Until next time, see you on down the road...
