The high rate of deaths and injuries in traffic is alarming throughout the world, even so, before the popularization of the movement in question, a situation as worrying as this did not receive the necessary attention, nor measures to raise society’s awareness by the government.

The Yellow May campaign was created with the purpose of filling this gap and putting issues on road safety on the agenda, to mobilize society, government agencies, companies, professional associations, and associations. This is done through actions that engage individuals and spread knowledge, addressing the breadth that the issue of traffic requires, in the most different spheres.

Approximately 90% of accidents worldwide are caused by driver recklessness. In Brazil, in data collected until October 2019 by the Federal Highway Police, lack of attention topped the list, followed by disobedience to traffic laws, incompatible speed and alcohol consumption.

Therefore, helping to reduce the number of traffic accidents is a practice that is within everyone’s reach and, for this, simple measures such as:

– Obey the speed limit of the lanes

– Respect all traffic laws

– Give space to pedestrians and cyclists

– Always use the seat belt

– Carry out regular vehicle inspections

– Do not drive under the influence of alcohol, transport by app is an excellent and practical alternative

To meet the great growth and demand for even faster deliveries, the company moves to the large logistical and industrial center in the interior.

With space 3 times larger, the objective of this displacement was to establish itself in a place more adequate for the logistic demands of the organization and, at the same time, capable of favoring the continuous improvement of the services provided.

The new headquarters has a space with 8 docks and space to store more than 8 thousand pallets, in addition to games and rest rooms, which resemble the offices of technology companies, bringing greater well-being and integration between employees and departments.

In our new headquarters we will also have 2 training rooms, one internal and one external, where we will be able to train people making applications in real time. Walsywa started training customers more than 40 years ago, using our SWAT (Walsywa Service and Training Service) vans, where you can get to know the products with your hands and not just with your eyes. The success of the vans led us to practical training at our headquarters as well, and now we intend to improve the process even further.

Interview with João Pedro Schrott, CEO:

What are the main benefits of the new headquarters?

With a ceiling height of 13m, more than 8,000 pallet carrier positions and 8 docks, the company will be able to move its orders with greater speed.

The office has what is most modern, with open spaces, raised floors, and games and rest rooms for greater interaction of employees and departments, in addition to the most modern laboratory, still under construction.

 

How will the new location favor the improvement of services provided?

Near 2 of the 5 busiest highways in the country, orders can be delivered with greater speed.

 

Did the solar segment drive the change? Why?

Yes, the segment is growing a lot and we will still have many new features to better serve our customers. The change will allow us to continue with the investment plan for the solar and construction sector, our 2 main focuses.

 

What are the expectations for the solar market and how does Walsywa intend to collaborate with the sector?

The solar market does not stop growing, and so there is room for new ways to serve customers. There are still few companies like ours, with proven experience in the fastening segment, and conditions to also serve nationally. Combining our efficient logistics with our technical support, we intend to be able to serve within 24 hours more than 200 cities in the southeast and south of the country, where we have our 3 business units.

 

What main products and releases?

The Solar Line comprises End Clamps, Flat and Rubber Washers, Flanged Hex Nuts, Screws (Hammer, French and Allen, with and without heads), Rods and Rod Assemblies, Straight Plates with Hole, chemical and mechanical anchors and numerous fasteners created for special projects.

The entire line is produced in 100% passivated INOX which makes it even more resistant to the weather to which a photovoltaic panel is exposed, ensuring greater durability and simpler maintenance.

Allied to this wide variety of products, we have all the technical support of our Engineering. We perform calculations and tests in loco, help our customers to have the best technical-commercial solution and provide training.

 

Was there any practical application of these products in the new matrix?

By the end of the year, we will have news in our new matrix, which will use a series of products.

The entire line is produced in 100% passivated stainless steel, which makes it even more resistant to the weather to which a photovoltaic panel is exposed, ensuring greater durability and simpler maintenance.

Allied to this wide variety of products, we have all the technical support of our Engineering. We perform calculations and tests in loco, help our customers to have the best technical-commercial solution and provide training.

RBS MAGAZINE: Point out the main differentials of the Walsywa company for the fixation sector in civil construction and in the photovoltaic segment in Brazil?
ANSWER: We are the reference in this market. We are present in the largest projects in Brazil, including the Itaipu hydroelectric plant, the Rio-Niterói bridge, World Cup stadiums, airports, corporate buildings, and residences. We believe we have achieved this feat in view of the following differentials:

– We are the company that launches the most innovative products in the segment;
– We have the largest number of patents in Brazil;
– We have 3 branches and more than 20,000 mt2 of distribution area;
– We have a modern laboratory for testing and quality control;
– Green Build Council Seal (Sustainable Construction) / ETA;
– We have more than 10 product lines;
– We have more than 1,800 items online being delivered to major cities in the south and southeast within 48 hours;
– We have more than 80 people working in sales throughout Brazil; and
– We have a partnership with two of the big brands in the market BOSCH FERRAMENTAS and FISCHER (washers)

We intend to differentiate ourselves in the solar market, as we did in Fixing for Vivil Construction, through a highly trained team, providing good service, efficient logistics (24-hour delivery to a large part of the country), laboratory and development of products that meet the needs customer requirements and competitive conditions.

RBS MAGAZINE: What is Walsywa’s market perspective in the post-pandemic Brazilian market over the next 3 years?
ANSWER: Even with covid-19, the segment still grows exponentially, we believe that with the drop-in interest rates in recent years and its historic low, in addition to the speed with which the sector’s technology advances, with increased productivity and scale, growth should continue regardless of external factors.

In relation to the photovoltaic market in Brazil, it is growing exponentially. In 2020, we intend to reach a 10% share and expect to grow 5%-10% annually until we become the benchmark.

RBS MAGAZINE: Why did the company decide to operate in the solar segment? When did you start acting in this segment?

ANSWER: Walsywa started its trajectory in 1964, serving the gunpowder fixation market. Since then, it has developed hundreds of new lines and applications, with a presence in Brazil and abroad, although it is better known for its chemical and mechanical anchors.
With the growth of the solar segment in the last 4 years, the demand for more technical applications and approvals grew, which drew our attention to the market, which we serve with more technical applications and, now, we intend to serve also in the most common applications, with a extensive range of fasteners and other chemical and mechanical products.

With the project in mind, we invested in training, people, specific laboratory equipment, an additional training van, in addition to products, marketing and fairs. We understand that the market still has a lot to grow, and for this reason, we made investments considering the next 5-7 years.
