been customer driven and targeted to selected niche<br />

fossel fuel and nuclear, pulp and paper, petrochemical,<br />

aluminium smelting, ship building, aerospace and<br />

pharmaceutical) where <strong>Thorburn</strong> can achieve clear positions<br />

of sustainable technological and market-share leadership.<br />
