The launch of Wow!

Your pulse rate goes up.
Your eyebrows rise into a high curve.
Horizontal wrinkles deepen on your forehead.
Your jaw drops.
Wow!

The spontaneous, involuntary surprise that brings on the word Wow! is often inspired within a fraction of a second.   It shows appreciation of something beautiful or a job well done. Wow! means that you've been dazzled by someone or something's performance, that simple expectation has been exceeded, that you went above and beyond all expectation.  Wow! essentially is another way to say Safcor Panalpina.

This was the theme of the national launch to Safcor Panalpina staff of the new Purpose, Vision and Mission during the latter part of 2008, which states:

OUR BUSINESS IS ABOUT
growing trade, growing others, growing together 

OUR VISION is
to partner with you in global supply chains

OUR MISSION is
to WOW our clients and other partners, through our values, people, technologies and relationships

Wow! KZN

KZN held its Wow! launch with a presentation to staff, a picnic and a soccer goal event.

Wow! PE EASTERN CAPE reported palpable excitement in respect of the rollout, with a festive atmosphere and a commitment to the new Purpose, Vision and Mission statements.

Wow! GP

GAUTENG arranged soccer and netball matches for the veteran staff, who entertained and surprised everyone with their abilities on the sports field.
