Commitment
Dear Readers...
Welcome to this first edition of Commitment
in 2009. Once again this issue outlines some
of the great customers we have had the opportunity
to work with and we are pleased to be
sharing our partnerships and success stories
with you.
This issue has a real sports theme running
throughout and a diverse range of products
including small machines and big machines,
some oil injected and some oil free. I think it
represents a wide diversity of customers in
many similar industries – just proving there is
really no such thing as one solution fits all.
It’s the listening to customers that makes Atlas
Copco such a fun and exciting place to work.
Customers are at the center of everything we
do and problem solving is a daily activity
rather than a chore.
programs like Atlas Copco finance and fixed
priced maintenance packages continue to give
customers great solutions and peace of mind
when purchasing products.
We are committed to keeping as many feet
on the street in the form of sales engineers and
service technicians with the aim to provide
outstanding customer service. Also the pace
of research and development is still fast and
you will see many product introductions or
upgrades over the coming months.
If you would like information on any of
the stories in this issue or have any questions,
I am as always pleased to hear from
you. These can be sent to me at:

Happy reading and enjoy the coming
summer months.
