Eaton, Schneider, Siemens launch anti-counterfeiting campaign

PEM >> 
Three leading manufacturers — Eaton, Schneider Electric and Siemens — joined forces with Electro-Federation Canada to develop an awareness campaign ("Don't be Shocked. Buy Authentic.") in order to raise awareness of the risks and hazards associated with the influx of counterfeit and unsafe electrical products in the market. The growing concern over counterfeit products is not only a safety issue but threatens the integrity of the marketplace.

Many counterfeit electrical products are unsafe and may not have been tested and certified safe to use by testing agencies like CSA International who among other Canadian certification laboratories, tests and certifies billions of products for the safety of the public.

The campaign includes print ads, postcards and buttons. Please visit the EFC Website for more information on unsafe circuit breaker products, potential risks and hazards as well as guidance on how to identify and report unsafe products.

Lockheed contributes to Sask. school's aviation maintenance program

PEM >> 
Lockheed Martin Canada is donating $100,000 and collaborating with the Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies' (SIIT) Aviation Maintenance and Engineering (AME) program to implement an extensive suite of curriculum materials that will help faculty and students develop industry-ready skills. The government's Department of Western Economic Diversification has added its support to this initiative.

"We are pleased to make a financial contribution to the AME program. We also are excited about the opportunity to collaborate with SIIT educators to help bridge the theoretical world of academics with lessons learned in aerospace and systems engineering that reflect the breadth of Lockheed Martin's experience," said Tom Digan, president of Lockheed Martin Canada. "This comprehensive suite of advanced training modules is based on decades of work on complex engineering programs."

Once completed, the AME faculty will benefit from a curriculum of courseware and instructor's materials for training in more than three-dozen engineering disciplines including systems engineering, quality assurance, logistics and interface engineering management.

Today's announcement is part of Lockheed Martin's commitment to the Canadian government to satisfy industrial and regional benefits associated with its role as prime contractor for the mid-life upgrade of the combat systems on board the Navy's Halifax Class frigate. The $1.6 billion program was awarded in late 2008 to Lockheed Martin Canada. In the first 12 months of the contract Lockheed Martin has provided more than $200 million in economic and regional benefits though strategic industrial partnerships and investments in research and development.

Lockheed Martin Canada has about 500 employees principally located in the Ottawa head office, Montreal and Dartmouth, N.S.
