Congratulations to the sales team for the great work done in Frankfurt and many thanks to those who visited our stand.

They were very successful days in which we were able to test Sagola 4600 Xtreme and 3300 GTO CAR spray guns by applying the refinish range of Sherwin Williams.

The meeting was the start point of a technical cooperation that will have, as a first consequence, the development of a joint application guide that will be very useful for the both companies customer community.

On July the 11^th and 12^th, Hector Amado, Product Manager of Sagola visited Izmir, where PPG Turkey, our exclusive importer in the country, has its new training centre.

We provide information to both technical staff and sales team about the main Sagola products, mainly focus on the repair and refinish area.

On July 8, the Sagola team supported Javier Fernandez "El Che" in Puebla (Mexico) on the fifth date of the Nascar Peak Mexico Series, a complicated circuit for which Javier was especially motivated but did not finish as he expected. There are still several races this season and without a doubt the optimistic and patient character of this pilot together with an excellent team work will help him achieve the goals.

Sagola has recently celebrated the National Sales Meeting. It took place on June 21 and 22 in Madrid; the whole sales team in Spain and Portugal attend the meeting together with the management team. The main goal of the event was to assess the results of this first part of the year and to share the commercial strategy that allows the growth of these markets in the second semester.

It is always a pleasure for Sagola to welcome visits in our facilities, but it is even more pleasant when visitors come from as far away as Russia and South Africa.

At the beginning of June came from Russia, Valentín Druzhinin, a famous blogger interested in Sagola as a spray gun manufacturer for bodywork applications and painting equipment for industrial applications. Sagola technical team prepared a complete training for him.

Last June 19, we received the visit from Ron Thomas of Applied Coating Technologies SA, distributor of the Sagola range for industrial painting in South Africa. An excellent chance to meet Sagola team and for a tour through manufacturing and warehouse facilities.

We are very happy to have welcomed this month the visit of the Belgian team of Imbema, Sagola exclusive importer for the Netherlands.

The beginning of the visit took place in Sagola manufacturing facilities and warehouse and then they continued in the training center with a presentation of the range of products for refinishing.

Thank you for coming. 

Héctor Amado, Head of the Product Technical Department, visited at the beginning of June the facilities of our importer in Italy, Roberlo Abrastuk, to provide a training activity about Sagola products.

During these days, the training was very specific, focus on Sagola compressed air filtering systems and on the new Air Quality Test, which offers a quick and effective diagnosis of the air compressed quality.

They were a very intense and productive days for technical and sales staff of Roberlo Abrastuk.

At the beginning of the year, Sagola Product Technical Department visited the paint manufacturer Novol facilities in Poznan (Poland) in order test their new products with Sagola last spray guns.

Novol was founded in 1978 as a manufacturer of products for painting and nowadays they have a wide range of products for any application of professional refinishing. Among others, the test was made with Novol innovative waterborne basecoat Spectral Wave.

As a result of those days and the technical cooperation between both companies, we have developed an application guide, already available on our website, with the most appropriate configurations to apply the Novol product range with Sagola spray guns.

Thus, it is the beginning of a technical alliance between two leading companies in the Refinish sector and that, surely, will bring benefits to both parties.
