Who would have guessed what sort of year 2020 would turn out to be at the time that Issue 29 of S A Metal Finisher was distributed? The Editor’s Notes in that issue during August 2019 reflected the depressing state of the South African economy exacerbated by careless and corrupt management of large enterprises at both state and private sector level. A survey we had done in the powder coating industry reported significant downturns in turnover. Hardly surprising - the surface finishing industry quickly mirrors the state of the manufacturing sphere in the economy. With things as bad as they were, we speculated that things could only get better, borrowing the title of Dante Harrell’s book “What goes down, must come up”. Wrong. After a few hopeful signs of a turnaround, COVID 19 reached our shores and wreaked further havoc,17 S A Metal Finisher Issue 30 changing the way business would be conducted around the world, and putting a great many enterprises into liquidation. it is to be expected that an association will mimic the fortunes of the industry or grouping that it represents, and so it is little wonder that SAMFA has had to reinvent itself, just as many of our member businesses have had to do. TURNING THE PANDEMIC INTO OPPORTUNITIES We looked at all the activities that both members and non members expect SAMFA to deliver and examined how to continue to offer these services affordably. At its core, SAMFA is about providing information to members. Whether it is member meetings, seminars, training courses, help desk assistance, facilitating dialogue with regulatory bodies or providing an advertising platform to industry vendors, all activities involve managing channels of communication. …..flip to pg 2018 - Kill 99.9% of e.coli and MRSA Bacteria within 24 hours - Is active for the life of the paint film - Will not leech harmful chemicals into surrounding areas - Can be manufactured to client’s specifications - Same anti corrosion capabilities as our standard products - Greatly reduces secondary infections in medical facilities Tel: +27 (0) 11 437 5905/6 Cell: 082 880 8100/1/2 WhatsApp: 082 880 8101 Email:info@powderlak.co.zaPowder Coating Solutions, perfect for hospitals, kitchens, butcheries and laboratories… www.powderlak.co.za E. coli- Final CFU after 24 hrs 5 00000 450000 400000 350000 300000 250000 200000 150000 100000 50000 0 CFU - ColonyForming Powder-Lak RAL9003 - Code 39-1188 Control Material 4.50E+05 11.11 350000 300000 250000 200000 150000 100000 50000 0 CFU - ColonyForming Unit MRSA - Final CFU after 24 hrs Powder-Lak RAL9003 - Code 39-1188Control Material 2.97E+05 11.11Next >
