Seminar success
June 1st 2008

Around 600 delegates from all over Europe travelled to Ardooie, Belgium, in March to attend a series of ER and industry-specific seminars hosted by DuPont Personal Protection in association with Sioen.

The programme, was aimed at organisations where certain applications demand the use of high performance clothing to protect against burn injury.

Throughout the six-day programme, delegates gleaned an in-depth understanding of European Standards and were given an insight into market trends and the global development of protective clothing technologies.

Highlights included: a presentation on European Standards for protective clothing, by Sioen's technical director, and captivating burn comparison tests on 45 garments, carried out on the DuPont™ Thermo- Man facility.

In July 2007 Sioen was invited to join DuPont as a partner in the NOMEX® Quality Programme. This has helped to increase its success in different markets.

An example is a contract to provide fire-protective clothing to the Belgian Fire Brigade. Bart Vervaecke, CEO from Sioen's Apparel division, accepted the 2008 NQP certificate on behalf of the company on the last day of the seminar.
