SMAY gave us an opportunity to educate Cyprus engineers and establish Arimec as a leader in the Cyprus market. The training focused on fire safety, addressing misconceptions and practical aspects of pressurisation systems. We gained insights into several details regarding installation and the design process, greatly enhancing the understanding of the subject for the 50 engineers in attendance.
