like to interest a broader audience for Armacell. We are
now pleased to be able to provide customized content for
very different target groups and share with them stories
from theArmacell world.Many public andprivatebuilder-
owners as well as operators of industrial equipment are
not yet aware of the enormous savings which can be
achievedwith technical insulationmaterials. That’s some-
thingwewant to change.
