throughout the world. This newsletter intends to demonstrate the perseverance,

strength and quality of all the Sopormetal team.

CHILLVENTA 2014

Once again Sopormetal attended the most important event

dedicated to industrial refrigeration, air conditioning and heat

pumps.

According to available reports, were more than 30000

visitors, from more than 110 countries attended this exhibi-

tion, representing an increase of 7% compared to the last

edition in 2012.

Following the investment made for the brand’s expansion

and in raising new partners in already developed markets and

in others still not developed, Sopormetal increased signifi-

cantly its presence in the exhibition. In addition to a more

active dissemination process, the company came up with a

new stronger image with a wider space so that more interac-

tion with customers was possible.

Over the 3 days of the exhibition, the stand was visited not

only by potential new customers, but also for regular custom-

ers and with a history of success in the company.

Framed in the established strategy for the markets’ expan-

sion, and in strengthening the presence of Sopormetal brand

in more than 70 countries, this exhibition comes to show that

the company is on track to open new horizons and broaden

their contacts’ network.

The success of this participation was well reflected in the

opportunities that were opened and in relations that were

fortified.

In 2016 we will be again in Nuremberg, to demonstrate the

quality of the solutions that we are developing!

EMAF 2014

The 15th edtion of EMAF – International Fair of Machinery,

Equipment and Services for Industry, took place between

November 19th and 22th, at Exponor, having had, for the first

time, the presence of Sopormetal. During 4 days, the 350

participants sold out the exposition area, allowing 40.000

visitors to contact with the most recent sector novelties. Our

participation came once again to prove the leadership in the

Iberic brazing market, with our stand attracting special atten-

tion of the many visitors who marked their presence in our

stand. The excellent momentum created by the viewing of our

corporate video, the assistance of our commercial team as

well as the contact with the exposed products has allowed to

reinforce our image in an activity sector where we clearly

stand out.

In the second day of fair, once again Sopormetal was in

evidence, giving the visitors a cocktail where conviviality was

the main note. This gathering between our team and guests

who flattered us with their presence permitted, in a more

relaxed atmosphere, sharing experiences and relevant

opinions which enriched professionaly all the people involved.

We hope that EMAF and the visit to our stand had met all the

expectations created, and it is with pleasure that we are

available for future contacts.

CHRISTMAS LUNCH 2014

Once again, the Christmas lunch gathered all the Sopormetal

Portugal and Sopormetal Spain teams and their relatives, as

a way to cherish all who are part of this big family. The event

organization was prepared with detail, starting with a recep-

tion of both workers and families, followed by a tour through

the company factory and facilities to demonstrate the

crescent growth that the company had met in the last year, in

terms of organization, technological innovation and its prod-

ucts.

After the social gathering in the bar, lunch started at the com-

pany facilities, with a personalized catering service.

During the lunch, some children entertainment activities took

place, not forgetting the grown-ups with a karaoke to enter-

tain and promote interaction of all. The anticipated moment

by the children was the delivery of gifts, which made a joyfull

moment for all.

Towards the end of the lunch, the highlight was a video with

the company´s best moments as a way to pay tribute to all

the team, with the motivational speech by the company´s

president, Engº Carlos Cadima, and finally with the Christmas

basket delivery to all people present.

SOLIDARITY PROJECT

Sopormetal developed, in the last festive period, one

more solidarity action, which consisted in the making and

sale of marmalade. This campaign intend to gather funds

to be donated to “Jardim de Infância do Campo”, located

at Ribeira de Fráguas, Albergaria-a-Velha, which also

covers pre-school education.

The resulting sales for this product reverted, integrally, for

this institution. This initiative reflects the importance that

Sopormetal gives to the children, which are the true torch

carriers for the future of our society.
