Anutone (6)

edesign52edesign52 Anutone’s weekly newsletter, every Tuesday since April 2009, has been so popular that after one year of 52 editions it is now published as a book. Presenting Volume 1 - April 2009 to March 2010. Volume 1 • April 2009 - March 2010 Dear Patron, The e-design newsletter and a journey called Anutone In this journey called Anutone, we may come a long way but have only just started. In the 1990s, we pioneered the resurrection of the woodwool board industry that was being buried by its very practitioners. We did this by manufacturing world-class boards with a host of variants to meet customer needs. Its continued use in modern multiplexes in metro cities by top operators is testimony. In this decade, we have been pioneering an acoustics revolution benefiting the entire ecosystem. We are doing this by injecting scientific temper to the practice of architectural acoustics right from design, supply, install to site testing. Growing awareness of the subject and acousticians on board project teams is testimony. For the coming decade, 2010s, we are pioneering the walls and ceiling industry. It already exists. So how does one pioneer? Products, systems and services related to walls and ceilings are still in their nascent stage with current international trends at least a decade away. This is what needs to be bridged, albeit the Asian way, the ‘glocal’ approach that Anutone is pioneering. Since 2007, Anutone has been introducing a slew of products with view to realising our aim to transform the wall and ceiling industry in the coming decade. There is something exciting happening at Anutone on a daily basis and it became necessary to share new knowledge with the ecosystem on the many changes, innovations and trend-setting concepts that bring a constantly evolving portfolio of products, systems and services to the market and the industry. 2 edesign52 Hence the idea of e-design - a weekly newsletter from Anutone, every Tuesday since April 2009, that provides one interesting fact, facet or feature about Anutone walls and ceilings. Anutone’s e-design has evoked an overwhelming response such that we are encouraged to publish a collection of one year of 52 editions for the benefit of architects, consultants, contractors and customers. While we are very bullish on our recent walls and ceilings foray we have not forgotten our roots. e-board is our fortnightly newsletter every alternate Friday that highlights our original business woodwool boards. And for acoustics and noise we will commence ecoustic and e-noise every fortnight on alternate Fridays that highlights our products for this purpose. Thank you for your attention and patronage. We look forward to enjoying the same for the coming decade. We say, ‘Challenge Yourself’, since exciting times are ahead that will surely ‘make you feel good’!
