LEAX do Brasil gloriously inaugurated
LEAX Group´s first factory outside of the boundaries of Europe, LEAX do Brasil, in Araucária close to Curitiba, Brazil, was gloriously inaugurated during the evening of March 21st 2012.
The inauguration started at six o´clock in the evening and shortly after the guests began to arrive. About some hundred guests arrived and were invited to cocktail drinks and canapés and could during the mingling see a presentation of LEAX on a large projector screen. Then it was time for the actual inauguration ceremony with cutting the ribbons (one for Sweden and one for Brazil) which was made by Roger Berggren (CEO of LEAX Group), Albanor José Ferreira Gomes, (The mayor of Araucária), and Odd Rörstad (President of LEAX do Brasil).
After the cutting of the ribbons several speeches were held by Odd Rörstad, Roger Berggren, Albanor José Ferreira Gomes, Amauri Escudero (General director of the Secretariat of agriculture) and by João Percy Hohmann (Technical advisor at the Secretary of the State of Industry, Trade and Mercosur Affairs). A nice statuette with the date engraved was handed out as a memory of the evening to the persons that contributed to the founding and implementation of LEAX do Brasil. One of the founders of LEAX, Lennart Berggren, who attended was one of them who received this statuette and he also received one for Axel Seger, the other founder of LEAX, who unfortunately could not attend at the inauguration. The evening then continued with a nice dinner in good company which then ended with dessert and the cutting of a LEAX do Brasil cake...
