Happy and prosperous new year 2022!
Dear customers, partners, friends and supporters,
In the name of MB Drive Services I would like to wish all of you a happy, healthy and prosperous new year. May you be able to fulfill your goals in professional as well as private life. May you stay healthy and full of energy and inspiration. May you find peace and happiness in 2022.
Reflection of 2021
Last year was challenging for many of us. Yet our company could achieve several milestones throughout 2021. Here a short summary:
1. Rental service
We have supported our customers with rental service of critical drive system components, particularly with a converter transformer. This program aims to minimize the downtime of a system caused e.g. by a failure of the VFD transformer. For more information see our “Service” section (link to transformer rental).
2. VFD related articles
We continued to publish short (and sometimes longer) posts on topics associated with variable frequency drives (VFD) and drive systems on our blog. Last year we have authored 70 new posts which is a new record (65 posts in 2020). We have also marked a record number of visitors: over 18’000 (almost 50% increase compared to previous year)! We managed to establish a collaboration with several professionals and co-authored some articles together.
3. Premium subscription
In 2021 we started our premium subscription. The subscribers receive two (2) articles per month. Compared to our blog section, the articles contain more detailed explanation, more illustrations and broader know-how sharing. The articles are available in pdf format and are completely ad-free. We have gained several subscribers, both individual as well as enterprise. The price is affordable literally for everyone.
4. Webinars
In spring 2021 we have conducted several free-of-charge webinars on drives related topics. Many thanks to all the participants for interesting discussions during Q&A sessions and constructive feedback. The experience was very encouraging.
Charity / donations
We aim to be a responsible company contributing to the well being of others. Although being a small scale company there is always a way how one can help.
- Financial support of victims of tornado in Czech Republic in June 2021
This was first tornado in that area with such strength. It came totally unexpectedly. Several villages in Southern Moravia had been almost entirely damaged. As the intensity of natural disasters unfortunately increases there will be plenty of opportunities to help in the future.
- Publication of children’s books
We are proud to support a talented teacher of disadvantaged children who selflessly decided to publish a children’s book. She is the author of the text as well as beautiful photo illustrations. Seeing the book preview we immediatelly deciced to participate in the crowdfunding to publish the first edition.
Outlook for 2022
In this year we will stay in the course already set. Our services will be available as usual. We will continue in our Premium subscription plan and our blog will gradually grow by adding new posts. We would like to continue the collaboration with industry experts to publish more joint articles and provide even more added value. We also encourage all our readers to suggest topics of interest or co-author an article together with us.
Happy new year
Thank you for your trust, loyality and support. Without all of you we could not evolve the way we did. We believe that there is still a lot of room for organic and sustainable growth.
Have a great start into 2022. We wish you a very happy new year. May your righteous desires get fulfilled.
Yours faithfully,
MB Drive Services
