In order to break the monotony of work and strike a balance between sedentary lifestyle and physical health, monthly activities are organized on the first Friday of each month. When the first Friday of August expires, it is the date of outdoor activities. This time we decided to walk 10 kilometers. Hiking will begin at 4 pm and lasts approximately 4 hours. Our 8 hikers orbit around the suburbs of Xiamen, walking on slippery country roads without sidewalks, through a wetland park with a maze of wooden bridges, a quiet yacht club, crowded beaches, Magnificent bridges and shady tree-lined sidewalks. At the end of the day, we will enjoy a sumptuous seafood dinner. How wonderful! After getting rid of fatigue, we are convinced that this organized exercise can help fight sitting sickness or inactivity, stay healthy and increase the relationship between colleagues. We all like it.

On Friday morning, our experienced quality controller Mr. Liu conducted valve-centered training to expand our understanding of various valves and improve our ability to solve problems. Although Mr. Liu is very young, he has performed well in quality assurance and always tries his best to ensure that he meets customer requirements and zero product defects. All colleagues, including the general manager, participated in the training, which detailed the on-site inspection and some constructive suggestions. At the same time, several technical problems such as the composition and operation mechanism of butterfly valve, check valve, globe valve and gate valve are discussed. The next training will be held in August.

ADIPEC 2013 is coming in three months. ADIPEC, known as the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference, is held in November every year. As the biggest oil and gas event in the Middle East, ADIPEC 2013 this year, will start from November 10th to 13th and is estimated to attract more than 1,600 international suppliers and 51,000 attendees. Dervos is always enthusiastic about doing shows at the exhibitions to know more clients and friends in valves field, let alone ADIPE , this big event. Dervos has a good customer base in Middle East, thus we believe it will be a good change for us to strengthen current cooperation and build up new cooperation in this region. Welcome to visit our booth (Booth No.:10064B), and we are always eagerly awaiting your arrival.

Peter, a typical Englishman, knows a lot about China. He has been engaged in valve business for many years in Africa, mostly for big engineering projects. He is an easygoing and open-minded guy, talking much about his remarkable experience in China over the lunch that features palatable lobster and steamed beans. After that, he is shown around the factory in long-term partnership with Dervos. During the visit, he is really satisfied about patented technology and production capacity of our partners and shows great interest in strengthening business relationship.

Two Turkish customers come to visit Dervos company. Upon arrival at the office of Dervos, they have been instantly and deeply impressed by our friendliness and hospitality. Their first visit means an enormous lot to us, marking the beginning of long-term cooperation with Dervos. Interestingly,one of them likes Chinese food very much while the other does not. They feel much surprised to be served with almost wholly Tofu (beancurd) feast. We believe Tofu will be an unforgettable word for them.
