Vipal and one of its “most solid partners in Europe”, Vaculug celebrated the success of their partnership on 10 September by holding a Brazilian Day. The festive event promoted integration between Vaculug and the Vipal Rubber commercial team and was held at the headquarters of Harrowby United Football Club, in Grantham. The meeting also commemorated the bicentennial of Brazil’s independence, celebrated on 7 September. During the festivity, participants enjoyed a barbecue and played football, pool, and darts.

Vipal’s general manager in Europe, Frederico Schmidt, was at the event and valued the closeness between the two companies: “We have had a solid business partnership with Vaculug for several years. A celebration of this type further expands the bond between our teams and strengthens our relationship with a retreader that does an excellent job in the UK and has very great synergy with Vipal Rubber,” highlighted Schmidt.

Vaculug executive chairman Haarjeev S. Kandhari, expressed great satisfaction with the meeting and the feedback he received from Vaculug Family: “It was great to see part of the Vipal team again. Vaculug family who were at the meeting gave us incredibly positive feedback and they are already looking forward to a new edition of the Brazilian Day next year£.
