Celebrating International Children’s Day at Incap Slovakia
June 5, 2024 | IncapEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
On Saturday 1 June 2024, Incap Slovakia organized a special factory open day for our employees and their families. The event was held to celebrate International Children’s Day and saw nearly 600 employees and their family members participate.
The day began with a video message from Otto Pukk, President & CEO of Incap Corporation. Children enjoyed various attractions, including a circus-themed performance by a well-known artist and a children’s disco with mascots from a popular animated series. Adults had fun testing their strength and skills in different competitions. There was also a raffle with interesting prizes.
Employees used this opportunity to show their children and relatives where they work and what they do. Popular activities like bouncy castles and face painting were available, just like in previous years. A relaxation zone and tasty refreshments with Slovak culinary traditions were also provided.
The weather was perfect, with no rain, allowing everyone to enjoy the day fully. It was a day filled with joy and gratitude for the time spent together. Incap Slovakia is happy to have hosted this event and looks forward to more opportunities to bring our community together.

04/29/2026 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionAs a supplier of wet processing equipment, we have rules and standards we must adhere to, including both regional and national electrical codes and safety and environmental regulations, as well as myriad other standards to make the equipment safe to use. Things are a little different when it comes to rules and standards for manufacturing PCBs, though, because technical advances and requirements change so quickly that standards can’t keep up.

Dan’s Biz Bookshelf: ‘Notorious: Leadership Lessons From History’s Most Notorious Leaders’ (New Audio Version)
04/27/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: Dan's Biz BookshelfI-Connect007 columnist Steve Williams’ new audio version of "Notorious" delivers a fresh and immersive way to experience an already exceptional book, originally published in 2024. This narration is a carefully crafted performance that elevates the material and brings every detail vividly to life. Even if you have read the print version as I have, you’ll be missing something if you don’t download and listen to this audible version. Most writers focus on one famous person and what they have to say about business, sports, leadership, or whatever, but "Notorious" focuses on the infamous rather than the famous; the notorious, and the so-called “bad” guys.
