Mr Steve Goei, COO from PT Soci Mas, who attended the training said, “It’s not only a very good training but good opportunity for all trainees to share knowledge and experience. Thanks to AOMG TC for conducting this fruitful training. Thanks to all seniors who shared their knowledge willingly which helps the juniors learn. Make this kind of training at least once a year to give a chance for engineers to improve their skills and knowledge.”
Participants agreed to support another training next year, this time to be held in Indonesia. Our host country member Thailand Oleochemicals Co Ltd feted participants to a gala dinner.
