OH, CANADA!

摘要

An oft-mentioned hallmark of German culture is its efficiency, but that doesn't mean they always get everything right. They spell Canada with a "K", for example. But when it comes to Canadians at the K show — known as the world's number one trade fair for plastics — maybe it's appropriate. The show, which ran from Oct. 16 to 23 in Diisseldorf, featured 3,330 exhibitors from 63 nations, including about 20 from Canada. Not an overwhelming number, perhaps, but it included some — GN Thermoforming Equipment, Husky Injection Molding Systems Ltd., Nova Chemicals Corp. — with among the largest booths at the event.
