Especially in the current economic situation it so nice to read the positive news. Taiwanese CSC (China Steel Corporation) has signed a contract to invest in new fully automated storage and logistic system to be supplied by Pesmel Ltd, located at Logistia.

The delivery includes a fully automated 560 coil place high bay storage with modern logistic system to integrate the production, storage and packing processes into a flexible and efficient handling solution. http://www.pesmel.com/?id=2135

And the new company Pesmel Ltd Taiwan will start operating in Kaoshiung later this year. The main business will be technical services, spare parts and engineering support for Asian customers.

Pesmel has also been awarded the contract to supply the New York Daily News with a fully automated, integrated newsprint roll daily storage. The system will be delivered in the early autumn of 2009. http://www.pesmel.com/?id=2134

I think ,I will start a campaigne here in my blog about good business news from Kauhajoki and Logistia. I just hope to get more and more these good news!

We began to prepare the vision for the year 2017 to our cluster. The kick off  for this long process was on  yesterday.
We had a strategy forum in which joined  15 experts from our companies,educational institutions and also some develpers. At first we had some presentations, a lecture of the milestones of the past 10 years of Logistia (lectured by me, Jaana Suksi) , analysis of the present situation of the cluster (geo Tarja Pienimäki) and  possibilities of the future (Ph.D. Petri Helo).

We continued the preparation of the vision in the workshos drawn by Tarja Pienimäki. I just collected  the results as a summary and will email it to all partizipants. The compilation of the vision and  the strategy process continue several weeks. We hopefully collect all the wisdoms as program which develops the area and companies significantly. This compilation of the vision is connected to a new  Cohesion and Competiviness program appointed by the Ministry of Employment and the Economy. It is extremely good that these programs recur from time to time. So we have to get  together to think about the competitiveness  and vitality of the area. And have some action for the better future…
