Just as we were beginning to see the light at the end of the Covid-19 tunnel, we have entered a new period of darkness which threatens to disrupt global supply chains and sent oil and energy prices skyrocketing. However, especially when the going gets tough, the value of good partners one can rely on becomes particularly relevant as we seek ways to jointly combat the situation. Thanks to my dedicated teams, you know we HeiQ can be counted on as one such reliable partner, and are rising to the occasion with our arsenal of energy efficient technologies and our expertise in helping YOU identify opportunities for maximizing savings. HeiQ Clean Tech, for e.g., can win you up to 35% energy savings with PES dyeing. More on that below.
Remember, together we are strong and can surmount any hurdle so let’s work together.
Yours,
Carlo Centonze, Group CEO

HeiQ Leadership Underlines Customer Care!
In a show of solidarity in these unpredictable times, HeiQ CEO Carlo Centonze, is visiting our customers to offer support and advice as appropriate. An example of this is documented in his visit to A.Sampaio in Portugal, HeiQ’s first customer when the company was founded, and an ongoing loyal customer today. Given the high energy prices, the HeiQ Team as well as its Leadership Members are visiting our key customers to identify opportunities to support them in energy cost savings. One really good example of this is our HeiQ Clean Tech, one of those energy saving technologies for PES dyeing, that our customers can implement to help reduce costs. We are prioritizing this and similar messages as part of our customer care efforts. |
