Festo shares pneumatic secrets with Indonesia

Festo, which has long been recognized as the world's leader in
the manufacture of pneumatic products, prides itself on providing
comprehensive solutions to automation problems.

Offering an extensive range of pneumatic components and
systems for automation, Festo gives its customers quality
solutions and products for all their automation problems. This
guarantee is backed by FESTO AG & CO, Germany, with ISO 9001
certificate of quality, which guarantees that from development,
manufacture and testing, up to delivery, Festo provides superior
products and service.

Festo is backed by a worldwide network of products and
services, having offices in over 170 countries, including
Indonesia, where it began operations in 1989. This network allows
all of Festo's offices to draw on a world of experience and
resources in providing its customers with all their required
services.

One of the services offered by Festo is seminars and in-house
training, allowing companies to keep their employees current with
constantly changing technologies. As Festo says, "the major asset
of any company is people."

By taking advantage of the training offered by Festo,
companies are able to provide their employees further training in
pneumatics, hydraulics, programmable control, sensing and
automation. This ensures companies have the type of knowledgeable
employees necessary to control technology, rather than being
controlled by technology.

The seminars last for three days to four days, while in-house
training can last for up to one month, depending on the training
and services required.

With six students to eight students per seminar, participants
are ensured the personalized attention necessary to guarantee a
comprehensive understanding and mastery of technology.

Seminar instructors have a technical background, having
undergone six months of intensive training at Festo. Each seminar
is 50 percent theory and 50 percent practical. Participants will
listen to lectures and read about how the technology works, which
is an important aspect in learning. But they will also be able to
get their hands dirty, so to speak, putting into practice the
theories they have learned and the technologies they have read
about.

Accordingly, the seminar room at Festo is equipped with all
the hydraulic and pneumatic equipment and computers necessary to
put the theories into practice and really get a grasp of the
technology.

At the end of the seminar, participants who successfully
complete the course are given a certificate verifying their
mastery of the respective technology.

Festo Indonesia gives university students the opportunity to
take the seminars, offering groups of at least 10 students a
special price of 10 percent off the listed cost of the seminar.

During the difficult economic times Indonesia has faced over
the past two years, one of the main casualties has been the
training budgets of most industries.

Festo Indonesia fills this gap by providing the training
necessary to keep companies competitive and give them a much
needed edge in the world of industry.

This is all part of Festo's vision: Sharing technology with
Indonesia. Contact Festo, Jl. Sultan Iskandar Muda No. 68, (Ateri
