October 25 The Informant Page 10 Hotel Giant Halts Jumeirah Project DUBAI - France’s largest hospitality chain, Arnaud Hotels, has decided to postpone the construction of a one-billion-dollar hotel complex in Palm Jumeirah due to recent global economic problems. “The decision was made in an effort to secure the company’s funds since the crisis has been adversely affecting Dubai’s tourism industry,“ Arnaud Hotels spokesperson Sebastian Lefebvre said. Tourism in the Arab city has suffered heavy losses after several companies slashed jobs and real estate prices tumbled. Lefebvre said Arnaud Hotels will resume the construction once Dubai’s economic condition becomes stable. The spokesman, however, dismissed rumors about the suspension of ongoing expansion projects in London, Rome, and Madrid.

Business Today In the spotlight: Heyworth Industries A known producer of high performance protective equipment, Heyworth Industries ensures the safety of workers in the chemical, healthcare, and automotive industries, as well as other sectors that involve the handling of hazardous materials. Founded 30 years ago in Syracuse, New York, it began by designing and manufacturing a broad array of protective garments such as fireproof clothing, chemical resistant clothing, and limited-use and disposable clothing. Over the years, these products became widely known and used by companies not only within the United States but all over the world. As a result, Heyworth Industries developed from a small local business into a multinational corporation. To meet rising client demand, Heyworth Industries established its first overseas headquarters in Toronto, Canada. Two years after that, it opened a factory in Guadalajara, Mexico, to increase its production capacity. Last year, another facility began operations in Shanghai, China, which helped in the manufacturing process while at the same time lowering costs. Heyworth Industries also boosted its logistics system by building a warehouse in Birmingham, Alabama. Finally, a shipping and distribution center was opened in Chicago, Illinois, to handle the shipment of products to various locations in the United States. In addition to the continuous improvement of its facilities, Heyworth Industries has made the placement of orders easier for customers. Orders are now received through its toll-free hotline at 1-800-555-2948, by fax at(315)555-2950, and through its Web site at www.heyworth.com.

We are planning to have a booth at the Pygmalion Travel Festival to promote some of our new package tours. The two banners that we intend to use at the festival have just been delivered to our office from the printer. Could you please dispatch one of your representatives to our agency to inspect the material as soon as possible? I would bring them to your offices myself, but they are too large to transport easily. We need the banners to be approved by the city’s deadline on September 1. Please call me directly at the number indicated in our application to let me know when someone will be available. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Sincerely, Ophelia Persakis

You can find our products sold in malls and supermarkets in Belgium, France, the UK, and the Netherlands. We are pleased to say that this year we are expanding our operations into the Asian market, starting in Japan and South Korea.
