Hempel sponsoring and speaking at Danish Maritime Days in hometown Copenhagen
Hempel A/S is excited to be taking part in the highly anticipated Danish Maritime Days (DMD) event next week. Hempel A/S will be participating at the DMD Technical Conference, held in cooperation with Danish Maritime, on the 7 & 8 October. Fouling Control Marketing Manager, Claes Skat-Roerdam, will discuss “How and why hull coatings can improve your bottom line” on Wednesday 7 October, highlighting Hempel’s latest innovative technology and products.
Claes Skat-Roerdam believes that what is key for shipping operators is “Finding the right product for the individual ship. For each vessel, we must take into account the typical sailing speed, sailing route, lay-up periods, idle periods and activity level. Hempel’s aim is to provide and develop coatings that deliver the optimum solution for all our customers’ activities”.
On the 8 October, Group Sales Coordinator, Kim Scheibel, will also be presenting at the DMD Technical Conference during the morning session “Optimisation and servitization”, focusing on “Hempel: Process Optimisation”. Full details on the conference can be found here - http://www.danishmaritimedays.com/event/danish-maritime-technology-conference/
Hempel A/S will also be participating as one of the leading sponsors of the three day Danish Shipping and Ship Management Conference (Tuesday 6 October – Thursday 8 October). Global Product Manager, Henrik Dyrholm, will be speaking on “Continuous improvement: The next 100 years”, during the “Technical and nautical ship management” session on Thursday 8 October. A fitting presentation as 2015 marks Hempel’s 100 Year anniversary.
Innovator Jørgen Christian Hempel founded the company in Denmark in 1915, with a vision to protect man-made structures from corrosion and fouling. He created a company truly driven by innovation that fully embraces modern science and technology. Today, Hempel is one of the fastest growing coatings companies worldwide, present in over 80 countries and delivering trusted solutions across the protective, decorative, marine, container and yacht markets.
Both events are being held in the same venue as the DMD Fair where Hempel A/S will also have a stand.
