Misumaru Corporation, a gift bag and hi-tech space saving product manufacturer, have announced the launch of their first European presence with a new division based in the UK.

Misumaru have over 40 years of experience in manufacturing specialist film packaging and innovative sealing technologies, and their range of flexible printed products are truly unique.

No cucarachas here any more

I have recently been on a business trip to Mexico, and I was warned by a colleague that the hotel had a problem with cucarachas. I asked him what he meant, but he just laughed and refused to elaborate. I was beginning to wonder whether the word was just the name of a particularly inept employee, but it turned out he was talking about cockroaches.

I have to admit, however, that the problem must have disappeared. I didn’t see one of them during the five days I stayed there, and I never heard any of my fellow guests talking about them either. On my last day, I finally decided to ask the receptionist whether she knew anything about a previous infestation.

She told me they had closed for a few days in the winter for a thorough cleaning because there had been complaints in the past, but since then they hadn’t seen a single roach. It would seem they had made a pretty good job of it.
