Happy Birthday

 is celebrating a big birthday. In the groove has delivered readers a wealth of information on sealing technology and industry trends, including interviews with leading experts, in-depth application case studies and technical information for design engineers, for 15 years.

Robert Zahiri, Director of Global Marketing & Communications, has been involved with in the groove since its original issue. He explains what makes the magazine so special. “In the groove has evolved significantly since the first issue was published. During the first years, without the technology we have today, creating each issue - from content to layout - was a much more hands-on process.

“The magazine has always been a coordinated global effort, involving many colleagues from different locations, which can still be said today. But initially the publication had a strong focus on Trelleborg Sealing Solutions news and achievements.

“Over the years, in the groove has matured to an industry-leading magazine featuring topics surrounding innovation and technology. Recent editions showcase our partners and industry experts, covering a full range of markets. It also connects readers to relevant multi-media content, online tools and valuable resources. I’m looking forward to seeing how our magazine continues to grow over the next 15 years.”

On this anniversary, the in the groove editorial team would like to say thank you to our readers and everyone who has contributed throughout the years. All the support and input we’ve received, both big and small, has helped make this magazine the success that it is today.
