To develop and support its activities in India, e2v organized a training course for its distributor, Aimil Ltd. The company sent three members of staff to run the course: Alice Reinheimer, senior applications engineer for sensors from the US office and Martin Edwards, product manager electronic tubes and Andy Bennett, marketing communications and distribution manager from the UK. Aimil brought together employees to their head office in Delhi from their nine branch offices around India to participate in the training workshops.
Sessions were held on key technology and market developments, applications and customer support across a broad spectrum of markets, from imaging devices for satellites to electronic tubes used in the production of steel tubing. Following the workshops e2v's team split up to make individual visits to key customers with the distributor's sales engineers, where the Aimil trainees were able to put the theory into practice.
Andy Bennett commented, "This was a great demonstration of joint commitment. Both e2v and Aimil will ultimately benefit from the increased support Aimil will be able to provide to our Indian customers."
