SOCAPS OPENS U.S. OFFICE FOR SUPPLYING INDUSTRIAL TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, EXHIBITING AT PACK EXPO THIS NOVEMBER

[USPRwire, Fri Oct 03 2008] SOCAPS, the Society Of Craftsmen Applying Professional Standards, is a cooperative that provides industrial customers (machinery builders, wholesalers, or end-users) in several industries including printing, packaging, agri-food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, with technical support (electricians, mechanics, engineers, etc¡K) for building, installing, and maintaining equipment and machines worldwide. SOCAPS is exhibiting at the Pack Expo tradeshow in Chicago, from November 9 to 13 at booth N-3431.

Since 1984, SOCAPS has provided technical expertise to some of the world¡¦s leading industrial companies, supplying them with reliable and knowledgeable craftsmen. With two offices in France (Normany and in the Paris area), the company opened an office in Atlanta, Ga., to better serve the Americas.

SOCAPS offers three categories of assistance to industrial companies who need experienced craftsmen to (1) pilot engineering projects, (2) support their production, and (3) lead site operations (machinery installation or maintenance).

The cooperative, which consists of 220 mobile, professional and multilingual members, offers it subcontracting services worldwide (in Europe, North, Central and Latin America, Asia, Russia, and North Africa).

SOCAPS¡¦ members are carefully selected, on the basis of their technical skills, the breadth of their experience, their mobility, their respect for SOCAPS¡¦ values: reactivity, availability, and openness, and meeting deadlines. They are autonomous, responsible, mobile, multilingual, and have developed their knowledge through their experiences in research units, workshop, and building sites.

The SOCAPS concept enables industrial companies to apply expert knowledge and experience to improve their output, optimize their productivity, be reactive, and meet with their production, installation, and maintenance deadlines.

There are two SOCAPS agencies in France (in Normandy, and in the Paris area) and one in the United States (in Atlanta, Georgia).

Meet with SOCAPS and learn about its concept at Pack Expo in Chicago, from November 9 to 13 at booth N-3431.
