Editorial Longest downtime in the ­history of PCK-Raffinerie

Dr. Jörg Krause The TÜV (inspection authority) inspection takes place every three years – Managing Director this time it presented a special challenge for Cegelec Contracting GmbH, too. Dear Readers,

Our customers have production facilities in many countries around the world. Uniform and high-quality customer standards are in place for virtually all production plants worldwide and innovations are often being put into practice, particularly in new plants outside Germany. We have many years of experience in dealing with the challenges and processes of our key custom- ers. This leads to great opportunities to support our customers in their operations outside Germany. And we are becoming increasingly successful in exploiting these opportunities. Excellent examples include contracts with Ciba- Vision, Outotec, Ossberger and Federal Mogul. Awareness of the local conditions and requirements in the relevant countries is crucial in driving forward this strategy and achieving

success in the long term.
