BRB International has celebrated its 35th anniversary by planting four trees at the newly opened Research & Development centre in Ittervoort, the Netherlands.
BRB employees from its headquarters came together to give the four trees as 35th anniversary gifts to the BRB board of directors.
It was an important moment for BRB to celebrate the achievements over the past 35 years. Started as a one-man business in 1981, BRB has grown from a small garage in the Netherlands to a global, well-established manufacturer for silicones, lube oil additives and chemicals. BRB currently has 235 employees and over 10 locations worldwide. To correspond with the continents where BRB has rooted in the past 35 years, staff picked four different trees to represent Europe, Asia, North America and South America. A birch for Europe; a Ginkgo biloba for Asia; an amber wood for North America and a sham beech for South America.
On the same day, BRB’s Research & Development center (R&D center) at Ittervoort was officially opened as well. This was accompanied by a ribbon cutting ceremony and an 'experiment' executed by the board of directors. The colours of red, blue and green chemical reactions perfectly matched with the BRB logo colours.
