ASTM International announced today that it is a supporting partner of the 2017 Oman Downstream Exhibition & Conference, 4-6 April, at the Oman Convention & Exhibition Center.

The Oman Downstream Exhibition & Conference is a showcase for global manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers representing key sectors within the refining and petrochemical industry. The conference is a discussion and knowledge-sharing platform focusing on the market trends, developments, projects, technology, and innovation in the sector.

“ASTM International is pleased to be a supporting partner of this high-profile event,” says Nick Ecart, ASTM director of business development for Europe, Middle East, and Africa. “We look forward to working with industry professionals who want to improve quality, safety, and performance using high-quality ASTM standards and services.”
