The increasing interest - about 27,000 visitors; and number of participants - over 300 organizations from all over the world clearly demonstrated the need for the event and the importance of the Series’ concept.

Mr. Rainer Herr, Area Sales Manager of Flowserve | Argus, summed up his impressions: “We are very satisfied and encouraged by the diverse and interesting talks”, he said. “We will certainly come back”.
“We used the STM 9 as a platform for dialogue with our customers and to exchange ideas, technically and service related”, Mr. Shahzad Haider, General Manager of V-LINE SAUDI ARABIA Ltd., said. “Now, besides maintenance, end-users are confronted with increasing challenges in terms of plant efficiency and improvements and they are demanding more and more technical support and services”, Mr. Klaus Menzel added.
