September 2004 Issue

Dear Voltimum User,

It’s not only the British Athletic team that are flushed with success after the 2004 Olympics, Philips Lighting are patting themselves on the back having floodlit 28 of the 33 venues in Athens. And just when you thought it was all over, Eaton MEM have already worked on projects in anticipation of the 2012 Olympics – read their news below.

We are delighted to offer Voltimum users the chance to win a prize worth over £10,000 thanks to ITW SPIT who mark the launch of their product catalogue on Voltimum by offering a Van, a Spit Pulsa Nailing tool and accessories. It’s a great prize and the odds are good so find out how to participate by going to the Spit article.

New on VoltiNews is our company “Spotlight” feature which will help you learn more about who’s behind Voltimum. First up is ABB whose new chief gives us some insight into that company. Voltimum users can win 5 Universal remote controls.

Draka and Square D have just published some very substantial technical paper catalogues which they have made available on Voltimum this September. And this is just some of what you will find in VoltiNews this month!
