Welcome To "Plastics...In The Loop"

Welcome To "Plastics...In The Loop" We're proud to bring you this monthly e-newsletter. (You might have received our "In The Loop" in previous months, a broad brush look at all of our products offered/markets served.) This publication, however, will have a 100% plastics processing focus! We're hoping that you'll find the information not only interesting, but also useful within your plastics processing operations.

Future issues will bring editorial content such as:
  • customer success stories that profile the "our problem was/the Eurotherm Control solution is" look at each of their operations (our hopes are that you'll relate to their specific issue and look to Eurotherm for similar answers within your operations),
  • product profiles and new technology introductions for our line of plastics automation and control offerings (and possibly news and technical content from our partners),
  • select plastics-oriented web content (helping to steer you directly to the resources you will find helpful) including our Technical Support Resource Center,
  • direct connectivity to our direct sales staff, value added resellers and especially our local sales representatives by clicking here.

We'd love to know what you think about this e-newsletter format. If you have any comments or article suggestions, please contact us via this email address.

We're ready to solve any of your plastic automation and control needs!

Regards,
Steve Schroeder, Business Development Manager (Plastics)
