This September, our CEO, Dr. Michael Wrinch, and Principal Electrical Engineer Andreas Huster, had the privilege of attending the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Expo in Amsterdam. This annual event, known as the premier gathering for the global amusement industry, provided an excellent platform for exploring the latest trends, technologies, and innovations shaping the future of amusement parks.
