Phoenix Contact Table Soccer Competition 2018

From |

With the excitement about the FIFA World Cup, Phoenix Contact Singapore organised our very own Foosball Tournament!

Also known as Table Soccer/Table Football, the goal (pun absolutely intended) is to score by kicking the miniature soccer ball into the opponent’s gate, which is always on the right, using the miniature players on rods known as foosmen. In the case of our tournament, the match would end when one team scored 10 goals against the other or when 5 minutes was up, whichever was first.

Tensions were high, voices were loud but most importantly fun was had in spades. Who would have known that Phoenix Contact had so many up-and-coming star players?

Where’s the ball? Where’d it go???

If they can’t see my face, they can’t read my moves…

Fantastic plays were made, brilliant defences engaged and spectacular saves were executed. Spectators and participants alike had a great time during the exciting matches, having fun and relieving stress; some might even say it was better than watching the actual FIFA World Cup! (Although to be fair, the people who said this probably don’t actually watch the FIFA World Cup.)

From |

Our slogan: “Inspiring Innovations”. It embodies what we do – Phoenix Contact never fails to come up with new and innovative products for the industry. As such, we are honored to be one of the market leaders and trendsetters of our industry.

Together with our partner in Myanmar, Synopsis Technology, we were proud to have brought you the “Future Proofing Industry” Seminar, held on the 31st of May 2018 at Lotte Hotel Yangon.

Seminar Poster

Alongside the topic of driving innovations, the main highlight of this “Future Proofing Industry” seminar was to introduce new applications and products for the education sector in Myanmar. It is of paramount importance to help the future engineers be ready for the industry.

Within the short time span of a day, we were elated that we had the opportunity to share our company history and actual success stories across South East Asia. Aside from that, we managed to introduce our innovative products as well.

First speaker: Mr Jiang

Our first speaker, Mr Jiang, who is also our Solution Manager, spoke about our new Industrial Cloud and Networking products for the first half of the seminar. Ideas and experiences were shared with the attendees.

Second speaker: Mr Maw Kon

The second speaker of the day was Mr Maw Kon, who is from Phoenix Contact Myanmar. He introduces our bread and butter products – the various connectors ranging from Terminal blocks to heavy duty connectors.

Third and final speaker: Mr Gary

Our last speaker, Mr Gary, never fails to draw the attentions of the attendees when it comes to introducing our surge protection devices. Live demonstrations and interactive activities were carried out and our attendees were all having a blast.

Last but not least, there was a mini competition held during the seminar.  All the attendees were encouraged to participate in the #futureproofingseminar and @phoenixcontactsea photoshoots. All they needed to do was to just take a photo during the seminar and upload them on their Facebook with the hashtag #futureproofingseminar together with a tag @phoenixcontactsea! The winner of the seminar was announced via our official Facebook page!

Euro 2016 – The Final Four

From |

After an exciting weekend of Quarter-finals, the 4 semi-finalists have emerged. We are one step closer to finding out which team will win the title and who will win the Limited Edition UEFA Euro 2016 German National Squad Lego Minifig Collection.

Portugal
Portugal’s lack-lustre performance in the group stages left many pondering if they would make an early exit. However, Ronaldo played the Captain’s part to inspire his team to reach the Semi-finals. Can he inspire them all the way to lift the trophy?

Wales
Having topped Group B during the group stages, Wales has performed consistently to secure their place in the final four. Will this be their year to finally claim the title of “Best in Europe”?

Germany
Being the only team left to have won this title three times (1972, 1980 and 1996); the other team being Spain. Germany will be looking to take home a fourth title to repeat their World Cup Feat. Joachim Löw’s team will have a tough match against host nation, France.

France
Having won in 1984 and 2000, France will be aiming to equal Spain’s and Germany’s achievement of three titles. France’s performance has been consistent since the group stages and culminated in a 5-2 drubbing of Iceland in the Quarter-finals. They will be bringing their ‘A game’ to the clash of the giants with Germany.

Is your team still in contention? Good luck!
