El fin de 2019 se cierne sobre nosotros y, como siempre, cuando observamos el año, comprobamos que ha habido cosas buenas y no tan buenas. Como esta es una época de celebración vamos a ignorar el Brexit porque, sea cual sea su preferencia al respecto —ya le encante la posibilidad o bien se limite a tolerarla—, la Navidad está próxima. Independientemente de si se sumerge de lleno en las festividades o prefiere que pasen sin demasiado ruido, todos esperamos un descanso para pasar tiempo con nuestros seres queridos. Como siempre, el equipo de IPI les desea a ustedes y a sus familias una feliz y tranquila Navidad y un próspero Año Nuevo. Queremos agradecerle, asimismo, haber hecho negocios con nosotros este año. Esperamos volver a hablar con usted en 2020. Además de información sobre nuestro sistema cerrado de mezcla PRO-BLEND®, en esta edición preferimos mantener el ánimo festivo y por ello le enviamos algunas curiosidades sobre estas festividades.

Tras los retos que hemos afrontado este año, estamos deseando que lleguen las vacaciones de verano y ya casi podemos sentir el sol sobre la piel (o eso esperamos) y el tacto de la arena bajo los pies. A pesar de la incertidumbre de la primavera, todo ha vuelto a la normalidad y queríamos aprovechar esta oportunidad para agradecerles a ustedes, nuestros apreciados clientes, esta relación comercial y su apoyo continuo. Esperamos que disfruten de unas relajantes y reconfortantes vacaciones de verano. En esta edición podrán descubrir el nuevo vídeo que hemos creado, también una reseña de Chemspec Europe, además de la prueba de un supermercado para reducir los residuos plásticos y una actualización de nuestro sitio web. ¡Feliz verano!

We find ourselves in challenging times, dear customer, with no relief from the storm clouds in sight. The confusion and uncertainty of Brexit continues and yet, despite it all, so must trade. We are focussed on our goal to provide our customers with a dependable and reliable partner, especially during this turbulent period. Despite the turmoil we remain energised, committed and enthusiastic in our drive to promote the use of closed loop systems for the safe handling of hazardous chemicals. Our work continues. In this issue you will find information on our plans to create a trading entity in the EU, about our Ionexchanger cartridges as well as exhibitions and customer visits.

It’s difficult to believe time has gone so fast, yet here we are, approaching the end of another year. The past 12 months have had their successes and challenges and we have been working hard to spread the message of closed transfer and handling liquids safely. So much so, we are looking forward to enjoying a break over the festive season. The IPI office will be closed from 12 noon on Friday, 21^stDecember and will re-open on Wednesday, 2^ndJanuary, 2019. Emails and voicemails will be monitored during this period so, if you do contact us, we’ll respond as soon as possible. We thank you for your business in 2018 and would like to wish you and your loved ones a very happy Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year. We look forward to working with you in 2019.   This edition will include our Brexit strategy and a profile of our Warehouse Operative, Mike Sanders.

Thank goodness all those GDPR emails have stopped arriving in our inboxes! It has been quite challenging wading through pages of regulations and trying to understand how they apply to our company. It seems everyone has interpreted the rules slightly differently, making it extremely difficult to find a definitive answer. After lots of research and advice we have come to the conclusion that the basic GDPR principal of respecting people’s wishes and using their contact details honourably and respectfully is nothing new to us, and is something our company has always strived to do. We will therefore continue, unless you ask us to stop, sending you relevant information we feel will benefit your company. If you would like to read our updated privacy statement, please do so here. So, what can you expect from this edition of our newsletter? Here in the UK plastic waste and its impact on the environment is a hot topic. Following that theme we describe the environmental benefits of the returnable packaging system. Recycling at its best! You will also see a video showcasing the use of closed loop transfer for handling Methyl Iodide, a highly toxic substance. It is inspiring to see how easily both workers and the environment can be protected from even the most dangerous of liquids. We hope you find these articles interesting and would love to hear your comments and suggestions about our products. Please contact us here.

Winter is clinging on with some final and brutal flurries of snow and freezing temperatures and yet the sun, when it has the chance to shine, is already much warmer and brings with it the promise of growth, warmth and new life to banish the harshness of winter. Here at IPI we are looking forward to welcoming Spring with open arms. In this issue we showcase the HVV System from Micro Matic and show you a video we filmed at OQEMA (formerly Lansdowne Chemicals), which perfectly showcases the cleanliness, safety and ease of use of the Micro Matic closed loop systems. You will also get to know one of our long term team members, Isabelle Lockwood. We hope you enjoy our newsletter and are, as ever, grateful to receive your comments and feedback.

Where does the time go? Surely we can’t already be approaching December! It really is amazing how quickly time seems to go by and deadlines we thought were far away are all of a sudden upon us. Has your company done all the necessaries to comply with REACH regulations? The final registration date for low volume chemicals is the 31st May 2018.

Welcome to another IPI newsletter. We hope you are finding the articles informative and enjoyable. If you have questions about any of the content, or would like to find out more, don’t hesitate to contact us and we’d be delighted to discuss any queries with you.

Welcome! Spring has arrived and with it come longer, hopefully sunnier and warmer days to drive away the chill of winter, which seems to have been particularly bitter for some this year. Unfortunately we can’t guarantee the weather but at least there are Easter treats to look forward to. Knowledgeable and dedicated professionals though we are, there isn’t much we won’t do for chocolate.

We have had a great response to our first edition and want to thank all of you who have taken the time to write or talk to us about it. We really appreciate your opinion on us and what we do, so please get in touch if you have comments on any aspect of our products or service. sales@ipi-global.com
