A global leader in tyre retreading, Vipal Rubber celebrates two decades of operations in Europe in 2025. The milestone consolidates the company’s international presence and its strategic relevance in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) market. As a way of honouring customers who are part of this history, Vipal has delivered commemorative plaques that celebrate the successful partnership over the years.
Celebrating 20 Years of Vipal in Europe
In total, 14 plaques were delivered to customers in Poland, England, Croatia, Spain, Portugal, Germany and Hungary. For Fabrício Nedeff, Vipal’s Commercial Manager in Europe, the symbolic act represents the importance of having partners who have been present since the beginning of Vipal’s local operations in Europe. “If today we are internationally recognised, it is thanks to the strategic and consistent work carried out in these 20 years, and also to the partnership we have established with our customers. In a personalised way that was innovative for the time, we were able to meet the requirements of the EMEA market. Currently, through expansion and consolidation in sales, Vipal caters to a broad and diversified customer base, expanding our visibility on the world stage. Currently, among retreaders and distributors, Vipal’s branch in Europe sells its products directly to several customers in more than 50 countries.”
Vipal’s General Manager in Europe, Frederico Schmidt, points out that “celebrating 20 years of operation in Europe reinforces our confidence in the journey we have made and the solidity of the partnerships we have built over these two decades. We thank each customer who has believed in Vipal from the beginning – this collaboration allows us to continue innovating and offering solutions to the demands of the EMEA market. Our successful story only exists because we share the same goals.”
For Vipal, solid partnerships go far beyond delivering solutions. They are born from close relationships, permanent technical support and an aligned strategic vision. This is reinforced by the testimonies of partners, like Vaculug and RuLa BRW GmbH.
“Vipal’s two decades of success in Europe have laid the foundation for partnerships like ours to thrive, and we are proud to stand by them to celebrate this milestone. Congratulations on an extraordinary twenty years – and may we continue our journey together with even more ambition and achievements ahead,” says Nimesh Purshottam, CFO of Vaculug.
“We take this opportunity to express our gratitude for the excellent partnership, which has always been based on trust, and to extend our warmest congratulations to the entire team at VIPAL Europe GmbH. We hope to continue our excellent collaboration, with great technical skill. May we have a long journey together, overcome challenging market conditions as partners, and crown our efforts with more successes together,” says Detlev Biermann of RuLa BRW GmbH.
