TECH Europe was delighted to attend the official opening of our partner ALTARODA’s brand-new, fully equipped Training Center in Portugal – an exciting milestone for both ALTARODA and the local tire industry.
Our VP of Sales and Training, Walter van Loon, and Technical Trainer Volodymyr Bagdasarian, had the honour of conducting the very first TECH Tire Repair Training session at the facility.
“It was inspiring to see such enthusiasm and commitment from the participants,” said Walter van Loon. “This opening marks an important step in bringing hands-on TECH training closer to local professionals.”
The two-day program, held on November 4th and 5th, focused on Passenger and Truck Tire Repairs, attracting participants eager to enhance their technical knowledge and practical repair skills. Each session welcomed around ten attendees, providing an excellent platform for collaboration and shared learning.
The training covered essential topics such as tire mounting and demounting, balancing technologies, TPMS education, and advanced tire repair techniques.
By the end of the sessions, participants proudly received the TECH Tire Repair Specialist Certificate, recognizing their newly acquired expertise and commitment to quality repair standards.
We would like to extend our special thanks to Vítor Rocha, Owner and CEO of ALTARODA, whose extensive experience in the Portuguese tire industry, support with translations, and meticulous coordination ensured the event’s success.
At TECH Europe, we strongly believe that continuous training and localized technical education are vital to advancing repair quality and safety standards worldwide. We actively encourage our distributors to establish their own training centers where possible, enabling local customers to access professional, hands-on learning without the need for long-distance travel.
Vítor Rocha’s vision and proactive approach perfectly embody this philosophy – a true example of forward-thinking leadership and dedication to customer support and success!
From all of us at TECH Europe, we’d like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Vítor Rocha and the entire ALTARODA team on this remarkable achievement. Their professionalism, hospitality, and commitment to excellence made this opening a truly memorable event, marking the beginning of many more successful training initiatives to come!
