A decade in rubber

摘要

Since this is the first article I have to write in a new decade, I thought I might take a look back over the last 10 years and then extrapolate forward a few years. Looking through the issues of ERJ from 10 years ago, I am struck by the similarity in stories. One of the top stories from January 2000 was the break-up of BTR's automotive division following the merger of BTR and Siebe, to form Invensys. This was the business that included the Henniges and Schlegel brands in the sealing business.
