  • BTT Desk

The Father of THEN AIRFLOW® Mr. Wilhelm Christ passed away recently at the age of 88. For over 30 years, Mr. Christ was the mastermind of the R& D at FONGS. More than 30 patents related to the THEN products are noted and credited worldwide. One of the most important inventions managed by him was the THEN AIRFLOW® technology, which still today is setting the standard for water savings during the dyeing process. As a result for his fruitful work he received many awards like the HENRY E. MILLSON AWARD FOR INVENTION, which was credited to only few Europeans up to now. Even after his active time together with THEN the management of FONG’S EUROPE appreciated his commitment and guidance as a consultant for all the R& D projects related to the THEN AIRFLOW® technology.
