Pipeline Pigging and Integrity Management show in Houston

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

Doug and I will be attending the Pipeline Pigging and Integrity Management show in Houston February 10-13. This is our most important show as we will see most if not all of our customers at one time. This year the show is even bigger for us.

Doug did a presentation in October in Prague. After that presentation he was asked to give the same presentation at the Houston show this year. What a great opportunity for us to give a presentation on pipeline brushes at a show attended by most of the North American pipeline pigging people and many of the pipeline owners as well as people from all over the world.

I love attending this show but this year I am more exited than ever. The word is spreading about our pencil brushes and the successes our customers are having with them. This success is making us more and more popular at these shows. We already have many meetings set up and most of them are at our customer’s request.

There was a time we sat by ourselves trying to get someone to talk to us but not anymore. It’s a great time for us right now.

Welcome to Galaxy Brushes’ blog

Welcome to Galaxy Brushes’ new blog functionality — this is the first of many posts so visit often.

The next few weeks will be very exciting for me. I’m leaving for my 5th Middle Eastern trip on January 16. I’ll arrive in Dubai on the 17th where I will stay at the home of our agent and his wife, a wonderful Indian couple.  On the 19th, I’ll fly to the Kingdom of Bahrain to present a paper I authored entitled “Pipeline Brushes: Critical Components of Infrastructure Maintenance” at the Oil & Gas Maintenance Technology Conference. With an estimated 1500 delegates in attendance, it is an excellent opportunity to showcase Galaxy’s brushes to an audience from more than 50 countries.

It will also be a time of renewing acquaintances and furthering friendships. I find the Middle East an amazing place. The people of that area are warm and cordial and I enjoy myself immensely visiting the entire area. After three days in Bahrain, I’ll return to Dubai for a week of meetings there and in Abu Dhabi. Dubai is like New York City on steroids. A drive up Sheik Zayed Road, lined on both sides with skyscrapers through what is called The Canyon; you will see no two buildings alike, each one as beautiful as it is unique.

On the way home from Dubai, a planned 6-1/2 hour layover in Amsterdam allows me to jump on a train in the lower level of Schiphol Airport for a 25 minute ride through the beautiful Dutch countryside to Rotterdam for a quick meeting and lunch with a friend and customer.  (I have a pretty cool job).
