NATO suppliers bet on MONTI
Bonn, Nov 10th, 2010: Within the framework of the NATO Codification System (NCS), the logistics bureau of the German Armed Forces in Sankt Augustin has included products of the Bonn, Germany, tool maker MONTI. All of the products on the list, including any necessary accessories, can now be ordered by any of the NATO armed forces member countries. Precipitating this move was the first-time implementation of the Monti's MBX® Bristle Blaster® by the Spanish Navy.
"Now all NATO signatories can profit from our technological leap when working on their ship steel," says MONTI general manager Volker Jannaschk. Each year, the logistics bureau selects around 36.000 new supply articles for inclusion in the catalog from a total of around 2.2 million applications. The NATO Codification System (NCS) provides the 52 member countries with an efficient supply item classification system for maintaining and expanding the supply chains of its armed forces. Each country is responsible for cataloging the material produced within its borders. Each and every NATO item of supply is given a 13-digit NATO stock number (NSN).
MONTI produces tools for surface treatment in Germany and sells them in 80 countries across the globe. Experts from all over the world turn to the technology of the Bonn, Germany-based firm, implementing it daily in thousands of workshops and construction sites. At the heart of the MONTI product range is the MBX® system that has been continuously refined over the last 20 years and that is now implemented in the automotive and marine industries, the mechanical engineering sector, as well as within the oil, gas and petrochemical industries.
OSEA 2010: Dr. Robert J. Stango introduces a new cleaning process
Bonn, November 10th, 2010: When representatives of the oil and gas industry convene at the beginning of December in Singapore at the OSEA trade fair held there every two years, the focus of interest will be on both the dramatic events in the Gulf of Mexico and the consequences these will have on the industry as well as the latest innovations of oil and gas industry suppliers. Among others to present papers at the Production Conference, an event that will run parallel to the fair, is Dr. Robert J. Stango, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The focus of Dr. Stango's presentation will be on an alternative wire-blast cleaning process for reduced environmental contamination and improved health and safety management. Dr. Stango will elucidate the physical principles on which the new technology referred to as wire blasting is based as well as the results that the procedure can achieve, namely: cleanliness and texture quality. The presentation will be held on December 1 at 3:30 p.m.
The oil and gas technology trade exhibition OSEA is the largest event of its kind in the Asia-Pacific region. Inaugurated in 1976, the fair this year is expected to bring together 22.000 industry and policy professionals from all over the world. The OSEA 2010 will be home to approximately 1.500 exhibitors in the Suntec Convention Centre. The tool manufacturing company MONTI from Bonn, Germany, will be in Singapore at Booth 4N5-01 exhibiting, along with other products from the company's portfolio, the technology presented by Dr. Stango.
