In a year filled with several achievements, the European Water Jetting Institute (EWJI) has made significant strides in 2023, demonstrating the commitment to advancing the water jetting industry.
One of the standout accomplishments of the year was the signing of a letter of intent during the 2023 POLLUTEC event. This historic document was inked by EWJI in collaboration with S3C, WJA, and ALTAP. It focuses on mutual recognition and cooperation, enhancing a sense of unity and strength among these organizations. The driving force behind this remarkable initiative is none other than Mr. Stuart Harwood, whose dedication and tireless efforts have been important in making this collaboration a reality.
The importance of this alliance lies in the belief that more organizations across Europe will join this cause in the near future. The collective strength of these entities promises to provide unparalleled support to the water jetting industry, as they work hand in hand to address common challenges and promote industry growth.
Throughout the year, EWJI has also released a series of publications that serve as valuable resources for the industry, which include the Guide about applications of hose assemblies in water jetting, or the Guide about the use of automation in industrial cleaning. These resources have been made possible through the dedicated contributions of numerous individuals, and EWJI extends its heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of them. These publications are an essential part of the industry’s knowledge base and serve to drive progress and innovation.
EWJI is not just about achievements but also about expanding its horizons. The organization encourages and appeals to individuals and companies to become part of their initiatives and join the cause. We seek support in our ongoing efforts to develop projects that not only enhance safety but also contribute to the sustainable development goals of the industry. Together, we believe we can make a significant impact, inspiring positive change for the water jetting industry.
To add the finishing touch to an eventful year, we will be closing out 2023 with a highly anticipated event: the EWJI Annual Convention, that is taking place on the 9th and 10th of November in Antwerp, Belgium, and it will be a collaborative effort in partnership with the national water jetting associations.
In summary, 2023 has been a year of remarkable accomplishments for the European Water Jetting Institute, thanks to its collaborations, publications, and commitment to the industry’s growth and sustainability. As we continue to inspire and motivate others to join our cause, the future looks promising for the water jetting industry in Europe.
