She is not thinking of stopping any time soon

She is not thinking of stopping any time soon

Back in the 1960s, she only knew HARTING as a manufacturer of cigarette vending machines. And young Margrit was a little wary of Espelkamp. She was always happy once she was past the nascent town as she travelled with her father from Herford to Rahden, where his schools were located. But both the company and the place went on to fit together for Margrit Harting, who turns 75 on 3 February in a very special and delightful way.

IMO 2020 LSFO Complications – Potential Long Term Positive for Heavy Differentials

IMO 2020 LSFO Complications – Potential Long Term Positive for Heavy Differentials

Following the implementation of IMO 2020, there is evidence of multiple complications globally related to very low sulfur fuel oils (VLSFO). Recently, red alerts have been issued from VLCC owners specifically flagging the sediment, high catalyst fines, high calcium content, and wax formation as significant risks with VLSFO currently on the market. These quality complications coupled with a growing price differential could push market participants that have the option to use high-sulfur fuel oil (HSFO) with scrubbers in the future.

Littelfuse Relays Protect Workers in Hydraulic Fracturing Market

Littelfuse, Inc., a global manufacturer of technologies in circuit protection, power control and sensing, today issued a case study discussing how its Ground-Fault Ground-Check Monitor increases safety and prevents hazards in the hydraulic fracturing market. Traditionally, fracturing relied on fleets that used diesel-powered engines that emitted carbon, noise and silica dust. To create a more environmentally-friendly way of extracting natural gas or petroleum from the Earth, companies have been moving toward electrically powered hydraulic fracturing equipment.
