has hosted an interactive technology

shutdown time.
The demonstration event was hosted
by Lindsay Young, managing director
of Pipetech UK, May Britt Lilletvedt,

of Pipetech UK.
“Pipetech has already
demonstrated in Norway that
it can offer a highly valuable
solution to its customers and
now we want our UK-based
clients to have access to this
technology, which will help
them increase efficiency and
reduce cost,” said Mr Young.
“We are thrilled to be able to
show what outstanding results
Pipetech’s AquaMilling and AquaSonic
systems deliver for the industry and are
very pleased to have the opportunity to
further promote our message – cleaner,
faster, safer!”
