19 participants from various furniture companies were taken on a ‘green’ journey with guest speaker, Mr. Otmar Schenk-Weier, Director for Asia & Pacific of Kremlin-Rexson Pte Ltd. He introduced new spraying technologies for different types of finishes and elaborated on the new environmental legislation for the European market. He also shared information on how transfer efficiency levels can affect the environment and even reduce operating costs if effectively monitored. The training ended on a high note with a ‘live’ spraying demonstration that gave the participants an exciting and unique learning experience.
