Dear Members,

Dear All,

As already mentioned our mailing from early January, our first activity of the BPRI will be a half-day Seminar at the facilities of SOUDAL in Turnhout.

SOUDAL is a “name” in Belgium and in Europe, and is quickly developing a worldwide reputation. Since its foundation by Mr. Vic Swerts, SOUDAL has become one of the most important manufacturers of silicone sealants for the construction and the manufacturing industries.

Under the leadership of Vic Swerts, founder and owner, and of its highly qualified staff, SOUDAL is one of the fast growing companies in Belgium, producing next to the large range of silicone sealants, a whole range of other sealants and adhesives and recently launched a world novelty : the first expanding PU foam without free isocyanates.

On the 28th of February please join us to learn more about the “new style” BPRI and also to visit the SOUDAL plants and learn about the “5-D Principle” Vic Swerts used to grow his company ; Dromen, Denken, Durven, Doen en Doorzetten; or in English, Dream, Reflect, Venture, Act and Persevere.

The program includes a guided tout of the two SOUDAL plants and a buffet-lunch at the SOUDAL Guesthouse.

The way to the SOUDAL Guesthouse you can find on the webside; (contact, wegbeschrijving)
