Foster & Freeman take to the roads

With over 95% of Foster Freeman's customers located outside of the UK, product demonstrations have often been a logistical nightmare, particularly if several products are involved. Although organised conferences and exhibitions provide valuable opportunities for the company to bring products and interested parties together, they are not always convenient in time or place for everyone.

To overcome the problem the company has invested in a 7.5 ton Iveco Ford truck which has been fitted out as a mobile exhibition booth, providing potential customers with an opportunity to see and use a wide range of the company's products together at their own premises.

The first outing for the new vehicle, which boasts a new fully carpeted interior, internal dimensions of 5m by 2.5m, full standing headroom, air conditioning, lighting and seating for six, will be into Germany in August 2001. Plans are also being laid to tour the USA in 2002 with the MVC5000, a fingerprint fuming cabinet that weighs 200 kg and stands at over 2 metres, developed by Foster & Freeman's subsidiary company, Mason Vactron Ltd.
