Mr. Meyer was extremely pleased to be able to report on all the progress and accomplishments that have been made in all countries over the years and then urged everyone to constantly strive for further improvements and innovations in order to meet the new challenges over the coming year. He outlined his vision and strategies to prepare and equip the group to reach new heights and to add further value to customers, principals, suppliers and the company. Participants from the various countries then made presentations on their own respective markets and also exchanged information and ideas during the workshop.
