Dissemination Report

The aim of this report is to describe the dissemination media used throughout the

project and highlight those activities with a highest impact on the European

plastics industry.

Web site:

The project web site is available since the beginning of Sono”r”us project. It is

accessible at: http://www.sonorusproject.eu

Moreover partners have implemented within their own website a link to Sono”r”us

website to increase the visibility of Sono”r”us project.

http://www.sonorusproject.eu/


THEME [SME-2011-3]


Poster and leaflet:

A poster and leaflets describing de Sono”r”us project have been elaborate. Both

documents contain an introduction to the project, objectives, partner’s

description, work packages interaction and so on.

There are different ways to promote a product in different areas of media. Posters

and leaflets are visual aids that include industry data, market research survey

results and product information brochures. These promotional materials enhance

the image of the project and the selling process.

Posters and leaflets have been displayed in trade fairs and exhibitions, and in

partner’s facilities to catch clients’ eye.

Leaflets are available for

downloading at Sono”r”us web

site.


THEME [SME-2011-3]


Newsletters and publications:

This sort of dissemination media is genuinely useful for technology centres and it is a

way of making public R&D results, new technologies and improvements for a

particular industry. Alternatively, companies utilises these sources of information to

draw potential clients’ attention by highlighting the advantages and benefits of

Sonorus machine for the plastics industry.

Several publications have been done by all the Sono”r”us partners. For instance,

two of the most relevant articles have been published in two important Spanish

newspapers:

On September 22nd 2011, La Vanguardia, the most important Catalonian

newspaper, published an article about Ultrasion and its innovative lines of research

where it was mentioned Sono”r”us project.

On January 28th 2012, El País, the largest Spanish newspaper, pointed out that

Ultrasion was a successful company which based its growth in its R&D projects.

Both of them underlined that

Sono”r”us project has received

funding from the European

Union's Seventh Framework

Programme managed by REA-

Research Executive Agency

http://ec.europa.eu/research/rea

(FP7/2007-2013) under grant

agreement n° 286552


THEME [SME-2011-3]


Trade fairs and exhibitions:

Since the very beginning, partners knew that to ensure the Beta Tester program it

was necessary find them in trade fairs and exhibitions as potential participants

could see and touch the machine. Besides it is a simple way of making massive

demos in order to attract curious visitors.

In this regard Ultrasion has been very active attending three events in which the

company has obtained great results.

Equiplast 2011, the most important Spanish trade exhibition for the plastics and

rubber sector and held on November 14-18th.

More than 90 organisations showed real interest for Sonorus machine which we

deem that 12 were excellent business contacts. Ultrasion recorded 8 applications

to enter in the Beta Tester Programme.

Some of the organisations that visited Ultrasion/MyS at Equiplast were previously

invited to attend the exhibition where they could have a demo of the machine.

ULTRASION/MyS used promotional material such as posters and leaflets and

announced its participation on the website.


THEME [SME-2011-3]


Swiss Plastics, one of the premier events in Lucerne (Switzerland) for the plastics

industry which brings together national and international companies that present

their novelties such as new products and processes for a diverse range of industries

like medicine, micro-systems or automation.

ULTRASION used promotional material such as posters and leaflets and announced

its participation on the website.

More than 49 organisations showed real interest for Sonorus machine which we

deem that 6 were excellent business contacts. Ultrasion recorded 7 applications to

enter in the Beta Tester Programme.


THEME [SME-2011-3]


NPE 2012 is the most important International Plastics Exhibition in the USA in which

1,830 companies offer their latest products and technologies for a wide range of

sectors. More than 60,000 visitors are expected to come and attend this world

event.

More than 160 organisations showed real interest for Sonorus machine which most

of them (80% of total) came from the medical sector.

On the whole Sonorus machine was well received by visitors because of its

innovative solution based on ultrasounds. In fact, some attendees came in

because they had heard of us in the Exhibition.


THEME [SME-2011-3]


Moreover, Ultrasion was so attractive that the NPE official magazine, Plastics News,

published an article about Ultrasion and it revolutionary ultrasound-based machine

for the production of micro and mini plastic parts.

This article was considered as a

reward for all the work done and

encouraged Ultrasion to keep working

hard.
