IBP Conex transfer the work to Poland

IBP Conex makes parts for pipes and taps at its factory in Dundee
A plumbing fittings company has announced plans to close its factory in Dundee with the loss of 66 jobs.
IBP Conex Ltd has confirmed it is to transfer the work carried out at its plant in the city to Poland.

The company said it needed to use cheaper labour to remain competitive in its market, after sharp rises in the price of basic materials.

Management broke the news on Thursday to staff and unions, who are now being consulted about the proposals.

Reduce costs

IBP chairman Trevor Murch told the BBC Scotland news website: "There is a likelihood the plant will be closed and up to 66 jobs will be affected.

"The work will mostly be transferred to our other facilities in Europe. Some will be sourced to China, but the main location is Poland.

"The drive behind the decision is that products are made from copper and copper prices have more than doubled.

"It is harder to compete in our market place and we have to look to see if we can cut costs. One way is to reduce the labour costs of manufacture."

'Difficult time'

Workers at the factory are being offered help to find other jobs by Scottish Enterprise Tayside.

A spokeswoman said: "We appreciate that this is a difficult time for the employees and we are seeking further information from the company.

"We will look at what we can do and what action is appropriate.

"There is continual and rapid change in the global manufacturing industry and we are working with companies to help them move towards more knowledge-intensive, high-skilled manufacturing to help Scotland compete on a global level.

"In Tayside, we are working closely with a number of companies to help them diversify their products and get into new markets to take advantage of opportunities and have already seen strong results.''

Hello from polish american Lech Bajan of RAQport.

Congratulation for your deal in Poland.

We are looking for cooperation in the IT field with your company.
We have best IP people in Germany, Poland and US.

We have the most advance Linux Applications Web Server in the market today.

With full GUI for easy administration.

We can provide remote advance Linux Support in German, Polish and English.

We can build for you custom build Web Servers with most advance Linux OS.

Since 1998 RAQport offers software installations on server appliances like the Sun Cobalt. Since several years we also deliver the same services for CentOS + BlueQuartz server appliances. They are the open source successor of the original Cobalt RaQs and offer a much more secure and more modern hosting platform than the original RaQs.

In the fall of 2006 we started - together with NuOnce Networks, Inc. - the development of Aventurin{e}, which is a Linux Virtualization Appliance.

Aventurin{e} allows you - with the same ease as on a Cobalt RaQ or BlueQuartz server - to create and manage virtual private servers. These virtual private servers can even run different Linux distributions. So on one Aventurin{e} master node you can run multiple different Linux distributions side by side. This makes it ideal for ISPs or companies with their own IT infrastructure, as you can utilize your existing hardware in the most efficient fashion.
Please check our Centos Blue Quartz latest dual core CPU
DDR2 Ram Dual SATA Drives 1 U comes with rails and rack ears
Up to 8 GIG RAM and up to dual 750 GB SATA RAID
Starting promo price $1299.00
This server appliance uses CentOS as operating system. As GUI interface it uses BlueQuartz, which is based on the open sourced RaQ550 Sausalito architecture from Sun Cobalt.
Sites, users, mailing lists and settings can directly be imported with the built in CMU from any Cobalt RaQ. So this is an inexpensive way to trade the aging Cobalt RaQ’s against much more modern hard- and software, while retaining the well known functionality and GUI interface.
A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do everything a RaQ550 and it does it much faster. A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do all including Frontpage. We do not have Chilisoft ASP at this moment ) - The serial ATA hardisks have a throughput of approximately 50 MBit/seconds and even the basic model with a 2.8GHz CPU outperforms a RaQ550 by several magnitudes.
Aside from the speed there are other compelling reasons to consider replacing existing RaQ3, RaQ4, XTR and RaQ550 with a CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance:
• Warranties
• Tyan Systems 3 Years Parts & Labor by Tyan.
• CPU: 3 years by Intel
• Hard Drives: 5 years by Seagate 3 years by WD
• RAM: lifetime warranty

Do you need new Check out Aventurin{e} - The Linux Virtualization Appliance!
What is Aventurin{e}?
Aventurin{e} . is a fully blown Linux operating system that can be installed on any X86 compatible hardware. It provides an intuitive browser based administration interface and allows to create and manage Linux based virtual private servers. Aventurin{e} also includes mechanisms to back up and restore virtual private servers.
Benefits:
Aventurin{e} is ideal for webhosting companies and companies with their own IT infrastructure.
Within a matter of minutes you can create new CentOS + BlueQuartz virtual private servers which cater all your web, email and FTP needs.
Or you can create that CentOS, Fedora Core, Debian, Ubuntu or OpenSuSE virtual private server that your developer needs to deploy his new application. Aventurin{e} also helps you to deploy your own customized Linux operating systems.
Additionally Aventurin{e} helps you to improve your ability for disaster recovery. No longer do you have to provide individual backup mechanisms for each of your servers. Aventurin{e} allows you to back up (and restore!) all its virtual private servers through the GUI interface.
Migrations of virtual private servers from Aventurin{e} - or from any OpenVZ or Virtuozzo host - to another can be done without downtime.
Redundancy:
For those that need high availability and redundancy: Aventurin{e} can do that as well. It is also available in a clustering version which will make sure that your important servers and services are always reachable.
