PRESS RELEASE
STRONG INTEREST IN OCBP's "HEG" PRODUCTS and "CLEAN WORKS" INITIATIVE AT BIRMINGHAM PLANT MAINTENANCE SHOW
September 1997
Oil Cleaning Bio-Products Ltd. enjoyed a very successful two days at the Plant Engineering and Maintenance Show at Birmingham ("PEMS '97") in mid September, with many positive enquiries from senior representatives of companies in different sectors about the exisitng and new products in the "Heg" range of bacterial oil cleansers, absorbents and bioremediation agents. At the same time, OCBP was able to explain its "Clean Works, Better Business" Partnerships in which customers and OCBP work together to produce a cleaner and safer workplace for employees and to protect the environment by cutting pollution.
Richard Genochio, Managing Director of OCBP Ltd., asked about the link between the "Heg" products and PEMS '97, said: "This was an important exhibition. The cleaning of machinery, the removal of oil from workshop floors, the containment and treatment of spills of oils and acids and reduced environmental impacts are key factor in business efficiency as well as in health and safety at work. We were able to demonstrate to visitors exactly how the "Heg" products achieve these aims."
Commenting on the "Clean Works, Better Business" Partnerships, Mr. Genochio said: "Most of the companies we met fully recognise that pollution control and the safety and health of employees at work are not extras, but basic to good management, business reputation and competitiveness. OCBP likes to work with customers to achieve these goals which the Partnerships and PEMS share."
Concerning rumoured additions to the "Heg" product range, Mr. Genochio added: "I am pleased to confirm that OCBP will be launching this autumn some exciting new products to build on the success of the first series. These will include an absorbent for spilled acids, a sealant for punctured drums, a bacterial grease trap and drain de-blocker, new types of absorbent booms and emergency spill kits."
