BEKO BECOMES NEW EVERAIR ASSOCIATE 
 
Beko Technologies have recently become the joint largest shareholder in EverAir Technology GMBH. Pro-Air Engineering, a compressed air and systems provider in China and Taiwan with over 200 employees is also a partner in the deal. 

Based in Hilden, Germany, EverAir is a young and innovative company specialising in the development and construction of equipment used for compressed air and technical gas processing- in particular in the area of large adsorption dryers. 

EverAir is managed by Herbert Blauscheck and Frank Mueller, who between them have more than 50 years experience in the compressed air industry, latterly for many years working for Ultrafilter. With their expertise and experience Beko can claim to have access to the foremost authorities on adsorption drying in Germany, if not the whole of Europe. 

Structural bonding as an alternative to mechanical fixing, riveting or welding has become increasingly popular amongst engineers in recent years. New technical advances and the development of new bonding solutions have dramatically improved the performance of structural adhesives. These improvements have led to a reduction in the time it takes to repair plant and machinery, manufacture goods, and improve finished end products. All of these benefits have contributed to the dramatic take up of structural adhesives particularly in the metal, plastics, composites and wood bonding applications.

Because modern industry requires managers who are fluent in technology and also engineers who understand business, Engineering Management schools train students in both areas. Core studies in engineering and business subjects can be applied to many different types of employment and create opportunities to work in a number of different businesses.

Many Engineering Managers work in manufacturing. You can also train to work in areas as diverse as Environmental Engineering, participating in projects to improve water and air quality, or Plant Engineering, with responsibility for the installation of equipment in industrial settings.

Engineering Management Duties
Graduates of Engineering Management schools normally expect to work in a supervisory capacity. Your duties would include managing people with differing types of expertise, and coordinating their input to bring engineering projects to a successful conclusion. You would use your good communication skills to ensure that your team worked well together, and your trained business abilities to manage projects within timescales and budgets.

A good food safety management system protects the health of consumers and protects food businesses from the risks associated with making its customers ill. There are strong moral and economic reasons for ensuring food businesses develop and operate a food safety management system, and it is a legal requirement. Major changes to UK food hygiene legislation on 11th January 2006 means that food business operators, managers, supervisors and food handlers need to be aware of a broad range of issues that might affect the long term viability of the business in which they work.

The CIEH has developed a range of new food hygiene training courses and WATA is pleased to be able to offer the new courses and qualifications.

The law requires that food handlers are trained commensurate with their work activities and in recognition of this WATA can provide the breadth of knowledge that food businesses need. This includes accredited foundation to advanced level courses for food handlers, supervisors, managers and food business operators.
