Its only for a years placement, but all I can say is WOW!
3M in Bracknell undertaking a new roll thats been designed looking after some serious IT Equipment.
3M were a bit of a novelty to me. I could only really think of post it notes and masking tape when I had to think about products that they made. We toured around their 'Innovation Centre' within the HO building (which in its self is a marvel), and some of the things these guys build and make just makes you realise that the following statisitc is true.
We learnt that (unless your completely remote) you are never more than 3 metres away from a 3M product.
Heres a few things in case you didnt know....
The badges manufactured for cars (BMW, FORD, JAG) = 3M
Most of the plastics on trains = 3M
Floppy disks = 3M
Every Asthma Inhaler ever built = 3M (patented)
Every road sign (reflective material) = 3M
Every car numberplate = 3M
Face masks = 3M
Durex!!
= 3M
Protective wing film and helicopter rotor blades = 3M
The list really is endless................
I'm really looking forward to this now!
