The first ‘NAMUR comes to China’ conference has met with a great deal of interest. The aim of these activities is to set up a process automation network in the Asian region. The keynote event on 19/20 November in Shanghai was sponsored by Endress+Hauser China. More and more member businesses of NAMUR – an international user association of automation technology in process industries – operate successfully in Asia.
Other stakeholders to be addressed include users in Chinese process engineering firms. “In the Asian region in general and in China in particular, immense production capacities have been built over the past years,” said Michael Ziesemer, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the Endress+Hauser Group. “There is a definite need for exchange of information. Sponsoring the first ‘NAMUR comes to China’ conference is our way of showing our
support for setting up this network.”
Dr Yu Guangjian, Managing Director of Endress+Hauser China, welcomes NAMUR’s move to Asia. “This is a much better way of satisfying the needs of the businesses working here and of getting to know the special cultural features,” stated Dr Yu. The conference has been scheduled to follow the NAMUR Annual General Meeting. In addition to technical questions, issues involving safety, security and environmental protection were
the subject of intensive discussions in Shanghai. Endress+Hauser contributed to the ‘NAMUR comes to China’ conference with its own technical lectures focusing on the field of liquid analysis.
