VEGA Controls SA holds a winning event
VEGA’s annual golf day has
become a calendar event not
to be missed. Each year an actionpacked
new product presentation
is followed by a day of fun on
the golf course, culminating in
a prize-giving dinner. This year
was no exception, and Group
Director John Groom and his
team surpassed themselves. In
his opening introduction, John
Groom stated that VEGA “does
not do recession”. This peopleoriented
company instead
focuses on what they can do best
for their customers.
Invited guests also heard from
Natalie Barnes, Director of VEGA
Controls SA, the sole authorised
distributor of VEGA products for
the South African market from 1
January, 2016. She was followed
by five heads of department
who each introduced a VEGA
product and spoke briefly about
their personal growth within the
VEGA family. The main product
presentation was given by Mr
Günter Kech, Managing Director
of parent company VEGA.
He had the attention of
the audience as he took them
through the history of VEGA’s
development of the first 4-wire
radar sensor in 1996 up until
2014 when VEGA produced the
80 GHz radar, optimised for solids
measurement. Mr Kech’s surprise
news was a preview of a smaller,
more sensitive radar which will
be available in March 2016. This
will be a game changer in the
field of level measurement for
liquids, and South Africa is the
first country to be introduced to
this instrument.
Finally, Frikkie Strikker, Head
of External Sales, gave a practical
demonstration on how easy it is
to install and set-up any VEGA
instrument using the low energy
Bluetooth PLICSCOM application.
No more dangerous climbs to the
top of silos in inclement weather,
when all that is needed is a
smartphone or tablet PC.
