DATELINE SYDNEY, NOVEMBER 2007
Safety Equipment Australia recently had the honour of welcoming two distinguished overseas visitors, namely Ivan Sundström and Lars Ronner, Managing Director and Technical Sales Manager respectively, from Sundström Safety, Sweden
The purpose of the visit? To present Sundström's visionary thinking and to show a wealth of trailblazing innovations for 2008.
Ivan Sundström, managing director of Sundström Safety, at the helm in the S.E.A. training room. |

 |
A string of new products is presented to a rapt audience. |
Throughout 2008, a host of groundbreaking products will be released, especially in the SR500 PAPR family of products, including:
|
 |
 |
Oops! In the middle of the proceedings, an unexpected consignment of — you'd better believe it — Sundström products arrives. All hands on deck! |
Even the managing director of Sundström gets to carry his own products into the warehouses of S.E.A. |
 |
 |
It is a large consignment, and it takes both muscle-power and organising effort to get everything off the truck in the right order. Ivan Sundström and Lars Ronner draw a deep breath after everything is unloaded. Time for lunch! |
Master chef Stuart Oppawsky (the S.E.A. representative in Victoria) grabs the tongs and fork and starts loading mountains of meat and seafood onto the sizzling grill. |
 |
 |
Is there anything more Australian than to stand around the barbecue and chat? |
Dig in! With newly stacked pallets as a backdrop, everyone at S.E.A. is invited to a delectable lunch in the warm Sydney weather. |
 |
 |
A good time was had by all, as they say. |
Bellies full and batteries recharged, back in the training room it was time to still another hunger: the curiosity about new products was satisfied through a series of hands-on sessions. |
 |
 |
And so ended a highly stimulating and very enjoyable visit by the innovative Scandinavians. |
