Sealing Workshop: A One-of-a-Kind Successful Event
In early November, TECHNETICS, MAESTRAL (sealing lab) and the CEA (French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission) successfully organized an exciting workshop on the durability of sealing functions at the magnificent Palais des Papes in Avignon (South of France)!
This prestigious event brought together end-users, sealing experts, university laboratories and renowned scientists. With 120 participants from 14 countries, this event was a resounding success. Over a day and a half, exchanges were rich and varied, with 16 presentations, a dynamic round table and numerous informal discussions.
What was on the agenda?
The custom-made program led to enriching discussions and fruitful exchanges on the latest advances in sealing. Attendees were treated to high-quality presentations covering topics ranging from elastomer seals to sealing in power generation systems and material durability, providing a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the challenges and innovations in this field.
Creating a sealing community
Another workshop highlight was the networking opportunities created during convivial moments, where the participants enjoyed exchanging ideas with experts and industry professionals!
This edition of the Sealing Workshop offered an exceptional opportunity to strengthen our ties with key customers and prospects and expand our network with the scientific world.
