In-Line with Fi-Tech – Fall 2025
Welcome to our fall 2025 issue of In-Line with Fi-Tech. I want to start off this issue by thanking all our customers for making us your first choice and putting your trust and confidence in Fi-Tech and our Team. We are grateful and appreciate the opportunity to serve you. We strive every day to help you be successful and to be Your Global Connection.
In this issue, we celebrate Heberlein Technology’s 190th Anniversary and Technip Energies’ Zimmer® Polymer Technologies’ 75th Anniversary. We are proud to be associated with these companies with such strong histories and track records. We congratulate them on their business milestones, and their ongoing success.
Our Fi-Tech Team recently came together to celebrate Stein Carlsen’s retirement. Stein joined our Fi-Tech sales team in 2020 as we were navigating COVID. Stein brought a strong customer and service driven approach to the team to serve a broad range of customers and principals. Stein anticipated working for several more years, but decided the lure to travel the world and experience life beyond his career was too strong. We thank Stein for his many talents and efforts and wish him all the best in the years to come.
I wish to recognize several members of our Fi-Tech Team with milestone service anniversaries this year. John Chandler, our Richmond Warehouse and Logistics Manager, achieved 30 years of service in July, and Santiago Vivanco in our Mexico office celebrated 30 years earlier this year. Also in our Mexico office, Veronica Herrera achieved 20 years recently. All have exemplified and demonstrated a strong commitment to our mission and mutual success with our customers. We appreciate their loyalty and dedication to Fi-Tech.
In closing, we have many interesting industry events this fall including the K2025 held every 3 years in Düsseldorf, Germany; and our usual slate of conferences, INDA’s RISE® and Hygenix® events, the SYFA Fall Conference, and the Southern Textile Association’s Fall Meeting. Please see our events calendar for links, and we hope to see you at these events.
