A fantastic view of the Swiss mountains complimented an exciting glimpse of the future at the Rotronic International Sales Meeting 2014 in the Swiss mountain village of Grindelwald.
The biennial Rotronic ISM brings together distributors and subsidiaries from the global Rotronic network (or family as it feels when we are all together!).
The week long meeting provides an invaluable opportunity to share experiences, projects, new ideas and product updates along with the showing off latest developments and future trends for the company. Aside from the formal workshops, training courses and meetings is the opportunity to informally explore new ventures and insights from around the world – as well as sharing a beer or two of course.
Italy and China!
The growing range of new product launches from the Swiss HQ, combined with further developments from the UK’s R&D group based around the HygroGen technology highlights that the outlook for the next two years will be very interesting! (check out our new Hygrogen and AwTherm specific satellite sites www.hygrogen.com)
The last day of the meeting ensured everyone forgot about instruments for a while as we made our way out into the mountains. Mixed groups were pitched against each other in a fairly weird and wonderful mix of traditional team alpine games including Alphorn blowing and milk chair shuffling (best not to ask)!! Competition was tight but fun had by all.
Alpine games
It was all wrapped up with a fantastic outdoor bbq and the Rotronic awards – the UK team getting an award for the best CO2 product sales performance over the past two years!
The ISM are important to maintain open communication and share knowledge. Combined with a delicate mix of hard work, fun and fantastic enthusiasm from all the those attending ensures that once again the ISM was a great success!
Team UK
Several important announcements were made about new products and future developments including…
New ATEX Range (launches very soon!)
Heated HygroMet Probe (now available!)
Two new videos coming soon (CO2 measurement and humidity overview)!
In addition we were given a glimpse of the future… Rotronic UK unveiled the latest HygroGen2 features and the HG2’s bigger brother, the HygroGen2-XL.
New toys!
Rotronic AG introduced a new ASIC for the Hygroclip probe range improving reliability and quality without affecting compatibility.
Beyond this there were several very exciting new product ranges on the horizon but these are still under wraps for now… watch this space 🙂
Following the continued success of our training courses we have several new dates for October this year!
These courses are aimed at providing excellent theoretical and practical knowledge useful both for those new to the field or those looking to expand their knowledge.
