  • Press Release
    Press Release Rio 2016: RadiciGroup at the Olympics with Radiflam®. BERGAMO, 15 March 2016 – After supplying its material for the seats of eight of the major Brazilian stadiums that hosted the Football World Championships in 2014, this year RadiciGroup – a leading producer of a wide range of polyamide, PBT, TPE and POM engineering plastics – is back in Brazil with its Radiflam® S flame retardant polyamide 6 engineering plastics. Five of the venues of the upcoming Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games (5 - 21 August 2016) – Centro Olimpico de Tiro Esportivo, Arena da Juventude, Centro Olimpico de Hóquei, Arena do Futuro, and Centro Aquático Maria Lenk – are, once again, going to bear the RadiciGroup brand name. The Brazilian market – where RadiciGroup has been present since 1997 with its Radici Plastics Ltda production site – has reconfirmed Radiflam® (specifically Radiflam® S RV300UKHF 3010 BK), a RadiciGroup brand name that stands for high technology, quality and safety, know-how and reliability. This line of polyamide 6 flame-retardant 30%-glass-fibre filled specialties has been used to manufacture the stadium seats and many of their components and accessories (such as, armrests, bolts and supports) for five of the sport venues hosting the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games, namely: Centro Olimpico de Tiro Esportivo, Arena da Juventude, Centro Olimpico de Hóquei, Arena do Futuro and Centro Aquático Maria Lenk. More than 10,000 athletes from over 200 countries worldwide, plus 500,000 tourists, are expected at the Rio Olympic Games. Radiflam® S RV300UKHF 3010 BK ensures that the final plastic parts feature maximum performance in terms of mechanical resistance, flame-retardancy, aesthetic appearance, and resistance to prolonged exposure to UV radiation and aggressive weathering, all the while complying with the Olympic Committee’s stringent regulations on the safety of the sport facilities and the construction sector’s specific technical regulations.

    MENSAGEM DO PRESIDENTE O ano de 2016 fi cará marcado para sempre na história do esporte brasileiro. A realização dos Jogos Olímpicos no Rio de Janeiro, os primeiros na América do Sul, é fruto de um grande sonho e de um árduo trabalho. Até alcançarmos esse ápice, mantivemos um crescimento contínuo. O esporte olímpico brasileiro se desenvolveu e conquistou o respeito e o protagonismo reconhecidos por todo o Movimento Olímpico, que nos levaram a uma edição impecável dos Jogos Olímpicos. Para o Comitê Olímpico do Brasil (COB), os Jogos CARLOS ARTHUR NUZMAN Olímpicos em casa deram a oportunidade de desenvolver Presidente um trabalho para alavancar o esporte olímpico nacional, seja pela popularização de esportes pouco conhecidos dos brasileiros, pelo desenvolvimento dessas modalidades através do trabalho de preparação para os Jogos, ou pelo surgimento de novos ídolos e exemplos para toda uma geração de jovens amantes do esporte. O Brasil viveu dias inesquecíveis durante os Jogos. Enquanto o público celebrava nas arenas do Parque Olímpico, nas ruas de suas cidades ou na frente da TV, novos heróis surgiram em modalidades até então pouco tradicionais ou mesmo desconhecidas dos brasileiros. Tínhamos uma grande responsabilidade: a de representar bem o time da casa, trazendo, assim, a torcida brasileira para o nosso lado. Neste sentido, dentro das quadras, pistas, raias, campos e piscina olímpicas, fi zemos história. Nossos atletas foram brilhantes e, com performances marcantes, proporcionaram ao povo brasileiro momentos que, para sempre, fi carão em suas memórias. As 19 medalhas conquistadas pelo Brasil nos Jogos Olímpicos Rio 2016 representam não apenas nossa melhor participação olímpica, como também a que conquistamos o maior número de medalhas ouros, sete.
