Xin Nian Kuai Le ! - Happy New Year ! - From Shanghai

 Dear blog readers,

This week I was fortunate to spend some time with my 'lao pengyou' old friends at the Invensys Facility in Shanghai.

Our Electric Power SCADA RTU product, the SCD5200 / RTU50 is manufactured at the Invensys - Shanghai Foxboro Company Ltd., and it was timely to visit there this week. That is just prior to the 10 day spring festival which starts with Chinese New Year. Much of the Foxboro product is manufactured in Shanghai and has been for the past 40 years or so.  Times have changed, and the factory has recently moved out to the new facility at Feng Pu industrial park, Feng Xian south of Shanghai. There is still a photo of President Reagan opening the original facility in Cao Bao Lu when China first started opening up to the west.

This coming Year of the Dragon promises to be an exciting time for China, and for Invensys as well. Many of the Nuclear Power projects in China will be using our Invensys Systems technology and Nuclear expertise.

Thanks so much to the team in Invensys Shanghai for making me feel so welcome ! 

Best Regards
