Noria Event Can Help You Reach Your New Year’s Goals

What’s your professional resolution for 2011? Is it to get certified as a Machine Lubricant Analyst or Machine Lubrication Technician? Is it to revamp your plant’s lubrication practices or lube storage area? Is it to learn more about identifying and eliminating varnish deposits or contaminants? How about to increase the uptime of your site’s mission-critical equipment? Or, perhaps, to incorporate lean tools and techniques to eliminate waste and unnecessary costs within your organization?

Noria Corporation can help you with these and many other New Year’s resolutions when you attend our RELIABLE PLANT 2011 conference and exhibition on April 19-21 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio.
