PAL - Process Automation International Ltd - has appointed Index International
srl, based in Milan, its exclusive agent in Italy.

"We are delighted to be working with Georges Epinette and his team at Index
International," says Geoff Paterson, Managing Director of PAL. "They have
a long track record of being a 'one stop shop' in Italy for the printed
circuit business. We are confident they can ensure maximum awareness throughout
this important market of the qualities of our machines. We already have a
number of machines installed and working well in Italy, including a PALTECH
horizontal line at Viasystems-Zinco. With Georges Epinette's help, we look
forward to seeing a great many more in operation."

Georges Epinette, a veteran of the PCB industry, was born in Paris in 1941
and graduated as a mechanical, electrical and electronic engineer at the
age of 24. After two years' experience in advanced thyristor technology
for power rectifiers and inverters, he worked with the most advanced PCB
manufacturer in France at that time. He was first a research and development
engineer for four years, and then for three years a technical consultant.
|
|
In 1974, he moved to Italy with responsibility for worldwide marketing
development for the screen-printing manufacturer Argon, promoting the
use of this technology in PCB manufacturing, and developing new
machinery. In 1980 he created his own company, Index International srl,
in order to maximise his track record and strong experience in the PCB industry.

"Our Index International team is motivated to seek the best opportunities
for its clients, and provide innovative solutions for the most challenging
of customer requests," explains Georges Epinette. "The choice of each
company we represent has always been made with the goal of bringing to
the market the best as far as levels of quality and advanced technology
are concerned."
|
|
"That's why we are extremely happy to be chosen to represent PAL.
Their equipment will be a most welcome addition to the range of
machinery we are able to offer the market. Their machines certainly
measure up to our stringent demands for the highest levels of quality
and technology, and they offer advanced and innovative solutions that
are vitally important to the industry. They, like us at Index, are
highly flexible and maintain an ability to respond and adapt rapidly
to changes in our dynamic global market."
