The STC-Group has recently opened new and renovated facilities at its premises in Brielle, near Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The improved process and maintenance industry training facilities at Brielle will enhance the training experiences of delegates attending the fieldbus training courses offered by STC-Group under the FOUNDATION™ Certified Training Program (FCTP). The opening ceremony of the improved process pilot plant was officiated by Mr Erik Hietbrink, chairman of STC-Group, with guest speakers Ms Romp, site manager at Teijin Aramid BV, Delfzijl, and ‘Plant Manager of the Year 2011’; Mr Van Scherpenzeel, general manager of Shell Pernis refinery, NL; and Mr Van Sluis, chairman of Deltalinqs.
