Sales Manager
Comerrsa, Guatemala

Q: What are you most looking forward to at WEFTEC 2019?

A: I’m here for my company, Comerrsa Guatemala. I came here for one of the workshops of today especially, because I have a lot of thoughts on the membrane applications. So that’s why I’m here.

This is my first WEFTEC but I studied it on the web and it looks like a very good event.

So far this morning the presentation is going good. I’m getting all of the answers that I was hoping to get out of the presentation. It is helping me a lot with our business.

Parsons Corporation
Playa Del Rey, Calif.

Q: What are you most looking forward to at WEFTEC 2019?

A: I’m looking at sustainable new equipment. There are a lot of manufacturers now who are addressing sustainable manufacturing and I have already scheduled appointments with some of the manufacturers where we already have contracts. So we plan to finish some new agreements while we are here.

We’ve been members for 20 years and I’ve been to almost every WEFTEC during that period. Now I like seeing the young people here. This is a great place for them to learn.
