Process technology moves steadily on. New materials, methods and systems are continually being introduced to improve productivity, increase quality and reduce costs. High temperature processes are under particular pressures to improve efficiencies because of their high energy costs. Research and development and the implementation of the new technology are necessry, to keep these industries viable in the face of rising raw material energy and labour costs.
