MILOS held their annual Product Academy in May at Milos (Guangzhou) Ltd., which is the Chinese MILOS factory in Guangzhou, China.
The Product Academy has been designed to provide attendees with the knowledge and skills they require for working safer and more professionally while carrying out rigging duties and constructing support structures.
Attendees included participants from China, Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, as well as from Australia, New Zealand and Kenya.
The two-day academy was designed to have both MILOS and Area Four Industries professionals working together as a team. Norbert Tripp, Area Four Industries Technical Director and structural engineer based in Germany, gave presentations concerning the theoretic view of rigging and static calculations. MILOS Sales Coordinator, Michal Zykan, covered truss design, while Brand Manager Marek Zubor took workshop participants on tours of the factory. Key personnel from the factory provided attendees with a complete overview of products and carried out dedicated product demonstrations.
The whole team took questions from participants, going into deeper group and one-on-one discussions to provide answers and give practical advice on rigging procedures and working safely with various structures.
On the last day of the academy, attendees were treated to a fun and exciting night of entertainment in the nearby city of Panyu, where they could let their hair down and unwind.
After completion of the course, each attendee received a “Certificate of Completion” that now serves as confirmation of the increased knowledge and skills they had gained during the two-day program.
Men at Work’s (India) Mankaran Singh, who attended the workshop in China, summed up the general feeling of all attendees when saying,
“Thank you for the wonderful workshop at your Guangzhou factory. It was a pleasure having met some new faces and discussed important rigging concepts at length. Your technical support and hospitality remains unmatched. I look forward to attending more workshops in the future and enhancing my knowledge.”
We’re already getting ready for our next MILOS Product Academy that will be held in the same period next year once again at Milos (Guangzhou) Ltd.
Remember that the MILOS Product Academy is always free to attend. You only need to cover your travel and hotel expenses. We take care of the rest!
