What a challenging past few months these have been for us all both personally and professionally. Having spoken to many of our customers recently, it has been clear that this industry is strong and stoic.
Our definitive guide
Welcome to the 2020 Supplier Profile issue. It’s certainly a year that’ll live long in the memory, with the Covid-19 pandemic having caused chaos to many businesses globally.

A welcome return
After the global uncertainty of the previous few months, at CanTech we are looking forward to the welcome return of a couple of regular features.
