RealCoolStuff covers electronics and computers, entertainment, vehicles, fashion and household decor. There are so many new products out there that you'll never see in stores, so don't deny yourself the pleasure of hearing about them first. Need a new camera?

Avcorp Newsletter |
|
|
|
 Avcorp Industries is the largest manufacturer of aerospace technology in British Columbia. Experiencing incredible growth in the last few years, Avcorp has had to move their entire operation into a brand-new building in Delta, giving them 300,000 sq. ft. in which to produce parts for both Boeing aircraft and the new catamaran fast ferries.
 Avcorp's employees are of such a number and diversity that a company newsletter is the only way to inform the staff of what's happening at the company. Each division has its own style and specialty, and the people of each division write the articles for the newsletter themselves. The articles range from the Letter from the President to candid photos from last weekend's crazy office party. What is created is a truly interesting to read newsletter.
The newsletter was originally only printed traditionally, but Mercury Creative has created an online edition to compliment the new Avcorp website.
