'Web Log' (Blog)

History of 'blogs' does not go beyond 1999. In and around that year blogging became a popular and easy tool for anyone who cared or desired to publish to web. The beauty of a blog is that one does not need to know any HTML or for that matter any programming language to publish on the web. It was for this reason that blogs became very popular.

The majority of blogs continue to be personal even to this date. They are usually reflections of an individual's thoughts on any observations they may have made in the course of living their daily lives. Very few large organizations have so far ventured into this territory. Most of them are mostly news websites and technological websites.

Why GEA Process Engineering Inc. then?

We believe that blogs may be a popular and easy way for Niro to introduce our readers to what we do. Also the immense and growing size of this website can at times prove to be overwhelming to the uninitiated. Daily short snippets with focus on one particular aspect of Niro's business and what we do could be a gentle way to introduce and maintain interest in this technology. All said, large organizations can have blogs if they implement it the right way.

We invite you to read our blog. This is an experiment for us and if it succeeds we shall continue it. We may also introduce blogs where Niro employees can post directly titbits on spray drying, freeze drying, crystallization....etc.
