Vasa- Friday April 24th

In the morning, Christina, Gailmarie and Laurel vistited the WLE radio and television station. Catherine visited the ministry of environment and a Geotechnical engineering firm. Marty visited Tarkmet factory with Dr. Yarmoti Elander. In the afternoon, Christina and Gailmarie visited the Teacher's college and Marty, Catherine and Laurel went to Vacon. Vacon is a company that makes frequency converters for AC motors, that was created after ABB in Vasa went under, by 13 engineers. It is now a 300 million dollar a year company- and we were lucky enough to have one of the founders show us around for the afternoon!
