Starting November 15, 2017 our new partner, Marcel Droettboom, formerly Managing Editor of bulk solids handling, concentrates on managing www.bulk-online.com while Reinhard and Ute Wöhlbier will promote the newly founded Powder Bulk Videos Portal at www.powderbulkvideos.com.

All this would have never been possible without the never ending support of his wife Ute, the soul behind everything.
