News: Worldwide learning
8th March 2019

Worldwide learning

Infused learning

Over the last few months we’ve been delighted to welcome our Turkish and Italian distributors and their customers to our PRO-SET Epoxy Seminar. Plus, we’ve had guests of Marine and Industrial visit us here in Romsey.

Many of our distributors bring their customers to experience working with PRO-SET and WEST SYSTEM epoxy products. They experience hand laminating, infusion and expanding epoxy foam (a particular favourite).

“The course was excellent, beneficial to all delegates and of course my own education and experience. The course content and experience of the Wessex team is unparalleled. I took a wide variety of delegates as guests: technicians, engineers and the most respected naval architects from Turkey. The Wessex team are so helpful and I think that it’s also beneficial for everyone to see the successes and challenges in Turkey. This is the 3rd seminar I have arranged. I am already arranging the next one!”

Sema Carckci, Etape Marine Turkish distributor for Wessex Resins and Adhesives.
