”This is the peak of an excellent year for ECOX” says Nichlas Kavander, VP Sales EMEA Paper, when visiting the Kemira booth on the 56th SEPAWA Congress in Würzburg, Germany. “Considering that the detergent industry so far has been passing the financial crises quite good, it is important for ECOX to attend here” adds Axel Seitz, Director Sales EMEA Sodium percarbonate.
The event attracts 1 600 registrants mainly from the detergent industry, with some 110 companies presenting posters. “Seems like everybody is here, this probably saves us a bundle of single visit and trips” comments Gunilla Fors Bengtsson, Sales Administration Manager, ECOX Paper. Meanwhile 54 speakers present their papers in the two auditoriums.
“Of course there is a lot of fun and laughs, but the environment also invites to exchange ideas, solutions and opportunities” is the remark from Christoffer Ödman, Technical Service Manager, ECOX Paper.
Through the year the congress has grown and is now mainly in English. When moving to Fulda next year the target is to be The Congress for this industry in Europe.
Kemira ECOX, Sodium percarbonate is sold as a bleaching agent to detergent industry. The Helsingborg factory is the biggest production unit for this material in the world.
