PRODUCT INNOVATION

Redefining What Is Possible. That

is what aerospace manufacturers

achieve with every new aircraft

they deliver. Beginning with the

first commercial flights in the early

1900s, these innovative companies

have pushed the limits of travel

while maintaining an exceptional

track record for quality and pas-

senger safety. Today, the industry is

reinventing itself again – focusing

on new materials and processes

to improve efficiency and reduce

environmental impact. But with

new materials comes complex speci-

fications with stringent controls and

processes – making the adoption of

new ideas a challenge.

Today’s Global Economy Demands

A Steady Flow Of Goods & Services.

To keep pace with this rapidly

expanding marketplace, oil produc-

ers must maximize production by

improving their tools and processes

to enable exploration and drilling

in untapped areas. These increas-

ingly hostile environments mean

increasingly difficult challenges

for our customers. So to continue

expanding their capabilities – and

to gain a competitive advantage –

industry leaders must invest in new

technologies and materials that can

withstand the most extreme HPHT

situations.

Reliability ... Safety ... Efficiency.

Thesearethemajorcommit-

ments PetroChemical and Power

companies strive to meet in their

efforts to streamline the delivery

of the world’s basic necessities.

From gasoline and electricity to a

variety of chemical compounds, the

products generated within these

processing plants fuel our world in

a myriad of ways. Because the safe

delivery of these substances is criti-

cal – for both the global economy

and the environment – sustained

processing capabilities are essential.

And leveraging proven solutions is

an important part of maximizing

production.

Consumer & Business Electron-

ics Are Evolving Faster Than Ever.

Semiconductor and solar companies

must remain ahead of the next

big consumer and business trend.

Beginning with Moore’s Law in

1970, the industry has maintained

lightning growth – fueled by the

increasing desire for lighter, faster

and cheaper technologies. And with

the expanding interest in renewable

energy and environmental conserva-

tion, photovoltaic solar panels are

becoming one of the fastest growing

sources of residential and commer-

cial power. To continue these paths

of rapid expansion while seizing a

competitive advantage, companies

are continually improving their

production equipment to maximize

their yields.
