Press conference of firm ERA on IBC'2000

Speech of Mrs. Ekatherina Petoukhova, Snell&Wilcox Western&Central Europe Regional Director
I'm working for company Snell&Wilcox and I know Gerasim and his company so many years - I don't remember how many, and he is the very good friend of mine. But what I gonna say today. This is a real event, and that's why my congratulations that you start like an international company. You have a booth on a big international show. And now you are one of us, who are presenting here, because Snell&Wilcox is obviously have a booth here as well. And I just want to follow a little bit Valery Chleborodov, because he said this system is of the mutual interest of ERA company and its customers, and I would say of a mutual interest for manufactures as well. You know, Russia and CIS countries used to be one sixth part of Earth, and though it is a little bit less at the moment, it still is huge place, and it's very difficult for people to travel, to discover the product, and delivering information to their houses and their stations is important task. And second difficulty we have is a language problem, because historically Russian people are not as well in English as European people.
So, Gerasim deliver information in their own language, and this is a gratitude. And also I admire him because he is so brave. A normal system integrator would not let the other people know the configuration of the system, because what they afraid that if somebody knows a configuration and go to somebody else and buy for a cheaper price. And that braveness I really admire, because I don't know anybody who would do that. Honestly. But I believe Gerasim and his company is secure against such a move, because they are very reliable, they can deliver in time, they can look after customer, they can solve the problems which could, you know, occur during the exploitation the system. And that's the way that they can secure the business. And I wish you - boost your revenue, have a great success, and believe me Snell&Wilcox will back you up with this new system.
Thank you very much.
