Technical Assistance Service Room and Social Room / Gym
 
On the 14th of October, F.Fonseca inaugurated the new spaces at its premises on Rua João Francisco do Casal in Aveiro, where it received around 160 guests, including clients, partners and national and international suppliers.
Accompanied by the Mayor of Aveiro, Eng.º Ribau Esteves, by the President of the Parish Council of Esgueira, Dr. Ângela Almeida and by Father Rocha from the Parish of Vera Cruz, the President of the Board of Directors of F.Fonseca, Carlos Gonçalves, marked this moment with a speech made to those present.

After Carlos Gonçalves' speech, Father Rocha had the opportunity to recite a small prayer and bless the plaques marking the inauguration of the new spaces. The Mayor of Aveiro also took the floor, praised F. Fonseca's posture, modernism and importance for the local economy and announced works to rehabilitate some of the roads that serve the industrial area of ​​Taboeira. Finally, Marc Ramoneda, Comercial Factory and Logistics Automation of Sick Sensors Spain, ended this moment with the delivery of a merit plaque for the relationship of more than 25 years that marks the partnership between the two companies.

The visit to the company's social room and gym was one of the highlights of this celebration. All present were surprised by the new facilities and recognized F. Fonseca's concern to promote the well-being, health and motivation of its human resources.

F.Fonseca's interactive video wall aroused a lot of curiosity on the part of the guests, who were able to browse through the information presented, get to know the company's new website and, in particular, each of the employees through small testimonies presented on the platform.

During the flying dinner, the group Groove da Villa (from the Filarmónica Vaguense) burst through the rooms, combining the characteristic timbre of the wind instruments with the contagious rhythm of the percussion, causing a surprise to everyone present. This group performed with a contagious irreverence that spread animation, energy and good spirits.
 
The atmosphere of this interaction could not have been more fantastic, being reflected in the numerous messages left in the book of honor: "Many congratulations for the facilities, great team, but above all for the concern shown in the importance of human capital, its involvement and motivation..." Ilda Costa, Renault Cacia Training Manager; “I warmly congratulate you on this day that will surely be remembered by all for many years to come. This is an important demonstration of a great example as a company. I congratulate you for your excellent image, interpersonal and inter-company relationships… You are guaranteed an example for all the industrial fabric in the city of Aveiro, in the District and in the country…” André Silva, Director QEMS - Saint – Gobain Weber Portugal; “F.Fonseca's excellence has always been manifested by an exemplary business path and above all (increasingly) by a commitment to its most valuable capital: its human resources!...” Elisabete Rita – Director General of AIDA.

At the end of the event, all guests received a piece of handcrafted porcelain "Safra do Sal" made by Porcelândia, specially designed to pay tribute to the saltpans of Aveiro and to present guests and friends who insisted on being present at the opening of the new spaces of F. Fonseca.
