 Testimonials

The FMA Congress in Montreal created a forum that leaders from the public and private sector could exchange views, information, and build partnerships. It's attendees spanned the energy sector from power producers, manufacturers, to major consumer product corporations. We were glad to sponsor the meeting in Montreal and plan to have a strong role in the upcoming meeting in spring of 2008.

The Future of Manufacturing Congress provided valuable insight into best practices at a number of companies, as well as important information about government services available to improve efficiency, reduce costs and enhance corporate citizenship activities. The topics covered at the Congress were both timely and interesting; especially discussions of emerging trends regarding environmental stewardship and organizational change. The new technologies and processes highlighted at the Congress pertaining to reduction of energy consumption could be of substantial benefit to a variety of manufacturers.
