As part of the metalworking curriculum, on 10 February, FREZITE and SERI welcomed 45 students from the CNC Programming and Machining and Mechanical Construction Design courses at CENFIM's – Portuguese Professional Training Centre for the Metallurgical and Metalworking Industry – Trofa Centre. During the morning, the students visited the production units in Trofa, learning about the development and manufacturing processes for high-precision tools. In the afternoon, the visit continued at SERI, where they learned about customised clamping systems, produced on a turnkey basis. The fact that several FREZITE Group employees began their training at CENFIM reinforces the value of technical training and the role of these companies in creating professional development opportunities. The visits also highlighted the technological evolution of the sector and the decisive contribution of the metallurgy and metalworking industry to the economy and innovation.
To end the year 2025 on a high note and start 2026 with the best energy, Frezite once again took part in the traditional São Silvestre races in Porto and Trofa. Several employees accepted the challenge and participated in both races, reinforcing team spirit and commitment to an active lifestyle. The São Silvestre do Porto race took place on 28 December, bringing together thousands of participants on an iconic route through the city. The São Silvestre da Trofa race took place on 10 January 2026, with the Alameda da Estação as the meeting point, which hosted the start and finish of the race. These initiatives, in which participants can choose between running (10 km) or walking (5 km), allow colleagues to come together and share experiences. Thank you to everyone who represented Frezite!
