Green: one colour - two connotations
Dear Reader.
The colour green is believed to be closely related to an old English verb "growan"- to grow.
Often associated with nature, green signifies growth, regeneration, health and life.
Nevertheless for many of us, when asked to envisage the colour green in our minds, we immediately think of the environment and if you happen to be an American - money (a greenback).
So, we would kindly ask you to remember these words and in the future, whenever you see our special green logo - highlighting our Energy Saving Products and Energy Saving Solutions - we hope that you will recall these two connotations.

As world leaders in pneumatics, we remain firmly committed to the development of high performance, cost effective, energy efficient products and services that not only help the environment but also help save you money.
In these challenging economic times we strongly believe that energy saving is the way to help make our customers and their products more competitive.
So, with this in mind, we are pleased to unveil our latest 2 Port Solenoid Valve - Series VXE - another exciting component in our green, energy saving portfolio.
It will definitely generate less CO2 and importantly, it will also help save you a few "greenbacks" too!
We hope that you enjoy reading this May edition of e-matters.
