Almost 60 representatives from law enforcement and industry, including CSA Group, Siemens and Eaton, came together to learn about a number of timely topics related to anti-counterfeiting initiatives.

The following day, CACN hosted a training session for Canada Border Service agents at Toronto’s Pearson Airport, led by Terry Hunter, CSA Group, and Vladimir Gagachev, Eaton. The session educated customs agents on how to identify a variety of counterfeit products, including electrical equipment.
