TAE 2016, in Esslingen, Germany

Last week we exhibited at the TAE 2016, in Esslingen, Germany, which proved to be extremely valuable for PCS Instruments. We had a stream of visitors to our booth, bringing engaging conversations with both existing and potential new customers. It was a most rewarding few days, with a number of dynamic presentations given by influential speakers, which were directly applicable to our instruments; namely the MTM, MPR, EHD, USV and HFRR.

To follow are a list of those presentations in case you were unable to attend. Please contact us directly by email if you missed these, and we will try to obtain a copy for you.

We look forward to welcoming you to our stand at Arablab 2016: 20 – 23 March 2016.
