Vebro Polymers

Good morning (and farewell) Vietnam! 🇻🇳 As our tour of Vebro’s Asia Pacific export territories draws to a close; I wanted to take a moment to thank each of our partners (old and new) in each of the countries we have visited for their warm and welcoming hospitality! One of mine and Mark Verinder FCA’s favourite things to do is introduce the Vebro brand to new customers, channels and markets - sharing the Vebro culture and spirit as well as reflecting on our growth journey to date; none of which would have been possible without attracting the talent that we have in our business and wider network all over the world! 🌎 So to recap; undeterred by the once in every 50 years tropical cyclone that threatened to thwart our plans; we have visited new and existing customers in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, Hong Kong and Vietnam! 🇦🇺🇭🇰🇻🇳 We have been lucky enough to meet with just shy of 20 existing or prospect customers in less than two weeks; taken 9 flights, stayed in 6 hotels, clocked up over 150 km on the step count; and Mark has drunk an unfathomable number of fresh Thai coconuts!! 🥥🌴🥥🌴 A huge thanks to Antony Di Girolamo, Ben Gillies, Vernon Ng and Doan Tam for joining us at various points on our trip; our highlight was without a doubt meeting all of our new customers and establishing new sales partnerships alongside you all! Others include; Sydney Harbour, Fitzby Falls, Calamari, Melbourne Magics, Pine Oak Court, Bacha, Weng Kee Fat, Sky Dining, Boost, Fusion Gym & crossing the road in Ho Chi Minh City! It’s been a fabulous trip; and a real success story for our SE Asian business which at just over two years old is now exporting to over 15 territories (and counting) in the region! 👏👏👏 Now back to catch up with everyone at Vebro UK HQ! Have a fabulous weekend all! XOXO

Weekend in Hong Kong! 🇭🇰 ⛵️🏙️ 早晨 Jo-Sun Part-A People! Our Asia-Pacific tour continues with a weekend of hustle and bustle in Hong Kong! Touching down in Kowloon from Melbourne early Saturday morning we have racked up close to 50 km on the pedometer exploring the islands over the weekend! Highlights include absolutely fabulous views over Victoria Harbour from the 21st floor of the Shangri-La, Temple Street Markets, coffee at Bacha in LFC Mall, lunch at Wang Kee Fat (roasted goose) and Sunday afternoon festivities on Hong Kong Island all the while trying to convince Mark to come with me to see the pandas! 🐼🐼 (wouldn't budge!) We will gloss over the football (🙈) Needless to say Vebrites back home I’m taking one for the team on the bad mood front today! Today, Vernon Ng, Mark Verinder FCA and I are headed to the Northern metropolis where construction is in full throng in the next phases of development in Hong Kong!

A magical mid week stopover in Melbourne! ☀️☕️🏎️🇮🇹🏟️🌊 With the buzz of the weekend’s F1 Grand Prix and unseasonable early autumn sunshine beating down on the city, it has been an unforgettable few days in Melbourne set to the dulcet tones of Aussie Rocker Barry Crocker! Highlights include the Queen Victoria Night Markets, Magics at Eaton Mall, Piccolo Mondo on Lygon Street, Carlton, Luna Park on Brighton Beach, as well as Pin Oak Court aka the one and only Ramsay Street. We also had the pleasure of visiting a live project site in the city - a high traffic commercial venue where Vebro’s poly cement has been used across the public concourse with more phases to kick off later in the year! A huge thank you to PU concrete legend Antony Di Girolamo and the team at A&I Coatings for a mad whistle stop tour of Australia! 4 states in 4 days! It’s been a blast! And to the wonderful network of customers we have met this week; it’s been a pleasure! We will be back very soon! 🙌🇦🇺

Another day; another adventure Down Under with Mr DG! Coming to you today from Southern Australia where the sun is shining on Glenelg! 🌏🌊☀️🏝️ Although it started on a bum note over brekkie with a disappointing penalty shoot out result (one very grumpy Verinder) it was fantastic to meet with some very gregarious players in the Adelaide industrial flooring market and highlight the application benefits of our cement modified PU! Thank you for your kind hospitality! We look forward to taking our next steps together! As always Tony’s Tours was on point; bullnose verandas, funk coffee, Glenelg jetty, Haigh’s Chocolate Factory, terrible tile grout, peanut butter balls and tales of strawberry farmers!!! Fabulous folk, fabulous weather and fabulous opportunities! ☀️ And now… we head out to the city of Magic! Melbourne here we come!! ☕️🎆🇦🇺 Antony Di Girolamo Mark Verinder FCA A&I Coatings

We’ve SHEEN it all now!!! 🤩🤩🤩 No your eyes do not deceive you! This is our CEO Mark Verinder FCA mixing and laying trial kits of our new cement modified PU concrete satin coating with the legends that are Antony Di Girolamo and Ben Gillies - our partners in fighting grime down under!! To quote a good friend this afternoon; now there’s a man who wasn’t expecting to be on the mixing station today!! What gave it away? The basket weave shoes, the pale chinos or the intense determination to avoid splash back? 🤣 In all seriousness, huge kudos to Grant Adamson and his team on the newly developed satin coating; designed for use on base and broadcast systems which are popular with Aus food and beverage clients. The additional 20% sheen not only improves the aesthetic of the overall surface but facilitates the cleaning process all the while without compromising slip performance. The material has excellent flow and rolls over aggregate like epoxy! 👌 For more details on the Satin SR PU cement system visit www.vebropolymers.com or contact our distribution partner Tony! 👉 https://lnkd.in/edkmd82w

Bridge-ing gaps and unexpected stopovers with a smile in Sydney... 🇦🇺🦘🐨 While we had anticipated spending the weekend on the Gold Coast, the best laid plans can sometimes be scuppered by once-in-every-50-years tropical cyclones!!! (Sending love to all those impacted by the storms over the weekend 🫶) However, as you can see from the photographs, re-routing to Sydney was hardly much of a hardship, giving us chance to explore the iconic city on foot in the lovely early autumn sunshine!!! And giving Mark Verinder FCA the opportunity to take a walk down memory lane...not sure if he's ever mentioned that he used to live in Manly!! 🤣 Back in the land Down Under to catch up with our exclusive distribution partners A&I Coatings and kick off an exciting 2025 in person, we cannot wait to catch up with our combined applicator network across four major cities this week!!! Having been down to HQ in the Southern Highlands to spend time with the team today; with the waters subsiding we will be Brisbane bound and back-on-track early tomorrow! PS - Sending big birthday wishes to Kathryn Fogg and Jon Morris back at home! 🥳 #VebroOnTour #Sydney #Australia #AICoatings #PolyurethaneConcrete #PUCement Antony Di Girolamo Ben Gillies

Which way to the weekend? This way… 🔝🦸🏻♂️😍 Pictured here (toys for scale) our vebrodeck MMA top deck waterproof wearing membrane on a multi-storey steel fabricated car parking structure in the North West of England! 🇬🇧🚗☀️ Come rain or shine, MMA is designed to tackle all weather conditions and is highly resistant to UV exposure, heavy rainfall, freeze-thaw scenarios and de-icing salts! ☀️🌤️🌨️☔️⚡️❄️🌪️ Top deck protection is critical in MSCPs, a top deck is not a roof, it’s also a trafficable wearing surface so requires additional safeguards to protects levels below!

Good morning Part-A People and Happy March! 🌼☀️👀 Kicking the month off strong with a big shout out to the good folks at Careproof Sdn Bhd, who have laid over 600 square metres of specialist Vebro epoxy conductive flooring in an equipment testing room for Jstar Motion Sdn Bhd, one of Southeast Asia's leading providers of linear motion systems! What are linear motion systems I hear you ask, don't worry, I asked myself that very same thing! 🤣 Simply speaking the category includes various technologies such as linear motors, linear actuators, and linear rolling guides and bearings, enabling the automation of various applications, such as furniture, robotics, packaging machinery, and semiconductor manufacturing! 🦾🦾🦾 600 square metres of vebrostatic ESD SL (Conductive) were installed directly onto the previously tiled finish in RAL 1015 Light Beige, delivering an extremely high-gloss, easy clean surface designed to immediately ground any electro static discharge building up across the surface of the floor! Making the correct choice of flooring system, when establishing an electrostatic protected area (EPA), is essential to ensure that sensitive electronic components and assemblies are adequately protected from the harmful effects of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) refers to the rapid, spontaneous transfer of electrostatic charge induced by a high electrostatic field. Charge can build-up while simply walking across the floor of a processing environment. Without flooring materials equipped with adequate protection, this charge can cause irreversible damage to sensitive components. When used in conjunction with suitable footwear, vebrostatic flooring systems will safely dispel charge to ground faster than it accumulates, in accordance with ESD Association guidelines.
