and a Crown forklift. Of this amount, 30% is Florescu’s own contribution, from a bank loan. Florescu has also invested 200,000 euros in the construction of the factory, with an area of 600 m2, as well as in the acquisition and arrangement of the land with a total area of 2,800 m2.

Vipal Rubber Attends Indagra 2019 in Romania
Vipal Rubber recently attended Indagra 2019, considered to be Romania’s largest and most important agricultural event. Vipal was represented by salesman Diego
Burchert from Vipal Europe as well as local distributor Tech Atol, from Magurele. Organised by Romexpo with the Romanian Chambers of Commerce and Industry, the trade
show, now in its 24th edition, took place from October 30 to November 3 at the Romexpo Exhibition Center. At Tech Atol’s booth, Vipal Rubber’s
full line of agricultural products was exhibited with high performance products and repair materials suitable for all types of soils and crops. One of the highlights was the company’s MA Agricultural Patches, developed especially for the sector, allowing easy application with maximum flexibility and reinforcement to the repaired tyre. Also Available were RAC Radial Patches and VD Bias Ply Patches, both available in hot and cold versions, and RA Patches, made in aramid and therefore extremely impact-resistant while being lighter
and more flexible than traditional
patches, thereby preventing creases from appearing
in the
repaired region.
For Tech Atol general manager
Valentin Nitu, the opportunity to showcase Vipal Rubber’s products as well as reinforce the brand for the Romanian market was very important. “The event was a success because we had a lot of public demand and great business prospects,” he said. According to Nitu, Indagra is an opportunity for the most representative companies in the country and abroad to gather around Romanian agriculture to invest, research, and learn about the latest machinery and equipment, as well as the latest techniques and technologies.
Alongside Indagra 2019 were Indagra Food & Carnexpo 2019 - International Food Industry Trade Show, Expo Drink 2019 - Wine, Beer and Other Alcoholic and Non- Alcoholic Beverages Trade Show; and Pack Show 2019 - An exhibition for the package industry.
