Indian Food, Friendship & Acoustic Cleaning Success
There's an old fashioned saying "Fortune favours the brave". Whilst it can relate to finding the courage to overcome difficult odds, it can sometimes apply to where you don't feel like doing something but then do it and enjoy really positive results.
This has happened to me and is where this blog post's title comes in:
Indian Food, Friendship & Acoustic Cleaning Success
Some time ago I was contacted by a potential customer for our acoustic cleaner business. They were based in India and asked me at very short notice if I could meet with them up in Edinburgh, Scotland where they happened to be on a visit. I had a busy schedule at the time and a trip up to Edinburgh was going to cause me problems so I was tempted to say that I could not make it. However, I relented on the idea and decided to be positive, making the trip after all.
I thought how nice it would be to take my contact to eat somewhere that would appeal to him so checked out the options in Edinburgh and opted for a super Indian restaurant where they served vegetarian food. The result was not an immediate business deal but something I value more - the building of a lasting friendship based on mutual interest and enthusiasm for the progressive development of the cement industry.
So where does the old adage I mentioned come in? Well, over time our friendship has born fruit from a business point of view. My Indian friend (at ACC India) has worked on large scale worldwide projects involving the cement industry and our acoustic cleaners have actually been installed on some of those projects to solve side wall material build up and blocking within large cement silos.
The Obajana Cement plant in Kogi state Nigeria is a good example - our silo cleaning equipment including the Prima Whip has been working there since 2007 on 4 of their cement storage silos, which were then each fitted with twin model PAS-60 Primasonics Acoustic Cleaners. The results have been so successful that the company have now ordered a further 8 PAS-60 acoustic cleaner units for the remaining 4 silos.
