While it is nice to have 2020 in our rear view mirror, we all still face a lot of challenges regarding COVID and distribution of the vaccine. Here, at Fi-Tech, we have been working in teams to limit time in the office for our employees in order to maintain social distancing, while maintaining 100% of our customer service level and 100% of our shipping capability.
Here, at Fi-Tech, we are very proud of our team, and the way we were able to adapt work schedules and methods in order to continue providing the products and services our customers expect without missing a beat.
We have a lot of news to share with you in this issue regarding upcoming events, new principals, and product updates. Fi-Tech will have a busy start to the year as we will be participating in several upcoming trade shows and conferences.
It has been an extremely busy year thus far from an exhibition perspective with IDEA2019, TechTextil Frankfurt and ITMA in Barcelona all before the end of June. It has been great to have had these shows to meet with both our customers as well as our principals.
We have a busy spring ahead of us with some important shows on the horizon for the Nonwovens, Textiles and Fiber Industries. In late March, we will be in sunny Miami Beach for the IDEA 2019 Show. This show provides a meeting point for the complete Nonwovens Industry supply chain with nearly 500 exhibitors and over 7,000 visitors.
