·    Frank Ma, VP of New Energy Solutions, will discuss how John Crane's expertise and proven portfolio of products and services supports customers in both conventional and new energy markets; and

·    Rob Sharman, VP Customer Operations, will discuss the successful execution from first order through to OE delivery and aftermarket service, and how John Crane has been scaling supply to meet growing demand.
