About the EIPC Summer Conference
The EIPC Summer Conference will be held on 1 st & 2nd June 2017 at the Best Western Plus Manor Hotel, Solihull, UK. The Bonus program will take participants to the National Motorcycle Museum in Meriden, Coventry, West Midlands, England. Such is the popularity of this location that what started as a museum dedicated to the heritage of the British motorcycle industry that it has now morphed into the National Conference Centre, which is on the same site. Within walking distance of Birmingham International Airport, the National Motorcycle Museum was the work of one man, Roy Richards, who started collecting motorcycles back in the 1970's. His favorite saying being: "when God made the mountains he had Nortons in mind". There are many members of EIPC for whom a motorcycle is extremely close to their hearts, and for whom such a place will be like reaching the summit.

The Chemical Connection: Getting to Know Your Vendor
02/16/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionAfter working for a capital equipment supplier for almost 50 years, I’ve found that the most important part of getting to know your vendor is good communication among all parties. While contact between fabricators of a constantly changing product line and the designers of those products may occur daily or weekly, conversations between you and your equipment supplier may be years apart. That lengthy gap often means that previous contacts may have been promoted, retired, or moved on to other opportunities. You may have also migrated to a new supplier with whom you have little or no history. In either case, you will be interacting with someone you are unfamiliar with (as they are with you). Therefore, it is essential for both sides to communicate clearly so expectations will align.
