Dear reader,

Before everyone descends into the end-of-year seasonal festivities we would like to treat you to the last edition of the 2007 InTouch. As you must have noticed already, we’ve made some extra efforts this time: the layout has been restyled and our approach has changed slightly …

The basic idea behind InTouch will, of course, remain ‘untouched’. This newsletter is our pre-eminent communications tool to strengthen our ties with you. But more than just keeping you posted on new products and events, we wish to share our extensive hand protection expertise with you, through some in-depth articles.

A few examples? Well, in each InTouch we’ll zoom in on a specific industry, like petroleum refining in this issue. We’ll share our findings on specific exposure hazards. And we’ll introduce you to some key opinion leaders: their expertise is sought for as many articles as possible.

We’re happy with the first results and intend to pursue this new format. But you, of course, are the main figure in all this. We truly hope that you like the new-look InTouch. If you have any questions, suggestions or comments, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

In the meantime: enjoy the festive season and have a good start to a prosperous New Year.

Happy reading,

Werner Heintz
Sr Vice President & Regional Director Europe, Ansell Healthcare
