On 11 January, with the enthusiastic participation of 17 Frezite and SERI employees, the Group was represented at the 22nd edition of the São Silvestre da Trofa, an event that brought together sport, fun and a spirit of mutual help. The main event, a 10-kilometre race, started and finished at Alameda da Estação. At the same time, the event offered a 5-kilometre walk and the São Silvestre Kids, aimed at the little ones, who ventured on a 500-metre mini-circuit. This initiative projects the city in the region, promoting sport as a tool for unity and overcoming obstacles. Congratulations to all the participants for adopting a healthy lifestyle, promoting the region and Frezite's values with pride and team spirit!

The return to work at the beginning of the year was marked by general meetings with the employees of the Production Units in Trofa (Portugal). These sessions are fundamental for reflecting on the results achieved in the previous year and aligning strategies and objectives for the future. On 6 January, the Walter FMT team took stock of 2024 and, two days later, the Frezite Wood & Composites team met for the same analysis exercise. During the meetings, key indicators relating to safety, quality and operating results were presented, as well as the highlights that marked 2024. On 9 January, the management team and FHP employees also carried out the balance of the year exercise. As far as SERI is concerned, it had already carried out the alignment exercise at the end of 2024. These sessions are an opportunity to strengthen alignment and team spirit, preparing employees for the challenges and goals of 2025.
