As a part of this Training Partnership, both companies will sponsor technical webinars and e-learning courses focused on a variety of pump topics as well as host the growing Pump Systems Optimization course to the broad pump end-user marketplace.
John Miersma, President, Iwaki America Inc. notes, “We are excited to be one of HI’s select Training Partners in North America as it will allow us to enhance both our reputation and capabilities in educating customers on how to improve pump performance and extend product life cycles through technical engineering-driven educational programs.”
As part of this new partnership, Iwaki America Inc. will host HI’s Pump Systems Optimization course on October 16, 2014. This highly regarded, one-day course, which has been attended by over 900 participants in various industries, has helped attending companies save significant dollars in energy costs while reducing maintenance and down time.
