Interpipe director speaks
at Eastern Europe forum
Oleg Kuzmin, the director for corporate affairs at steel
pipe and railway wheel producer Interpipe, Ukraine, took
part as a speaker at the IX International Conference:
The Baltic PR Weekend, held 10-11 September in Saint
Petersburg, Russia.
In the framework of the round table ‘Building an Employer’s
Reputation during the Recession: Effective PR Practices’,
Mr Kuzmin presented a report entitled ‘Employer’s brand
2008 vs 2009. Natural selection’. In the report, Mr
Kuzmin discussed the practical examples of effective
communications with employees during the recession,
highlighting major company projects within the context of
the employer’s brand and talked about the programmes
aimed at making Interpipe an employer of choice.
Mr Kuzmin stated, “Even at a time when companies’
workforces have changed in size, there is a lack of skilled
employees and companies continue to battle over new
talent. Today, as before, we have to focus attention on
the issues of interaction with employees making the
company brand recognised as an employer of choice”.

Languages added to
orbital welding system
Swagelok Company, USA, a developer and provider of
fluid system solutions, has announced the expansion of the
language capabilities of its Swagelok welding system M200
power supply.
Offering ease of use, portability, and 200 amp capability, while
weighing less than 50lb (23kg), the M200 features built-in
multi-language capability. Russian and Swedish have been
added to the power supply’s original languages, English,
French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese
(simplified and traditional).
A high-resolution, 12.1" (307mm) colour industrial touch
screen provides a simple, intuitive method to enter weld
programs. Users can choose from one of three forms to enter
programs, including automatic weld schedule programming.
The M200’s automatic shield gas control (patent pending)
simplifies set-up of shielding gas, requiring no use of a
separate flowmeter. Universal voltage input – 100 to 230V
(AC) – requires only a cord/plug change to accommodate an
input voltage.
