Dear Partners and Customers,

I am writing this article early in June, and I wanted to make reference to World Children's Day, June 1st. So that we never forget to constantly surprise ourselves.

May was synonymous with travel. We were in Angola again with our partner Nova Sotecma. This time, we were at the INTERNATIONAL FAIR OF BENGUELA, which took place between the 16th and 20th of May. More than a fair it is a Social responsibility to be with the Country of Angola at All Moments. The economy and the Province of Benguela has been recovering very slowly, attracting few investors and business openings, however there is a possibility of reopening of the Lobito Refinery and several projects in Agriculture that can boost the local market.

We were also for the first time in the place where an 18 MW Diesel Power Plant will be installed, which is in Medium Voltage generators.

It should be mentioned that we also had the visit of two colleagues from the Department of After Sales and Technical Assistance, to our facilities to see the new products, and took advantage to receive electrical and automation training with Eng Nuno Felicio.

During the month of May we went to visit Kenya, where we had the opportunity to be with our Partner, and went to visit several projects and where there are good prospects for the year 2018. We also visited a 2x1350 kVA plant to verify the operation. Currently reserving for the Mains failure.

In June, we will have one week of Training to one of our Distributors in our Installations for Technicians. It will be a week of internal training on Grupel Products, mainly with the disassembly and assembly of an engine, injectors, injector pump, alternator, controllers and their programming. In this way we are more and more specialists and we can better advise our clients, making their support areas have a high degree of knowledge thus allowing differentiation for their performance.

Thank you for your preference
