Goodbye, 2017! Hello, 2018!

Time has gone fast. Christmas is approaching and 2017 is almost behind us. It is time to make the balance and to look back at everything that happened during this exciting year.

Unfortunately, life brings not only good but also sad moments. Translas, and in particular the Boer family, had to deal with the loss of, the company founder and father, Mr John Boer. Mr. Boer passed away in May this year at the age of 82. John has given his whole life for the company. Luckily, he could also enjoy travelling with his wife Loes. From 1995 till 2008, they travelled the United States of America and Canada on their motorhome. This was their passion and we are happy they could enjoy it for so many years. We will always remember John & Loes for what they did for us as as company, but mainly, as loving father and mother.

For Translas, 2017 was a fantastic year. The company presentation at the exhibition Schweiβen & Schneiden in Düsseldorf was a major goal. We believe we presented ourselves in a way we never did before. Being located amongst the biggest companies in the industry and the high traffic of people on our booth, made it an incredible experience. In Düsseldorf, we presented our brand new MIG and TIG torch lines – 8XM and 8XT. The reactions of the visitors to the torches as well as to our overall presentation, were more than positive. We are convinced that in 2018 many of you will meet and see this new line of torches and you can judge yourself.

Do you want to take a look at the new torches already? Our new catalogue for 2018 is available online at www.translas.com and as a hardcopy by your request.

2018 has to start yet but we are already excited to make it even better than what 2017 was already. We are ready to serve you at any time and let’s make all a great year out of 2018.

Edwin, Jelmer and Jeroen & the whole Translas team wish you very Happy Christmas holidays with your loved ones and all the best wishes for 2018!

Kindest regards,

Jeroen Boer
