Vipal Europe’s commercial technical division has established a technical training partnership with 25 tyre repair businesses in West Africa as part of a qualification programme in collaboration with West Africa Tires Services (WATS).

The training is held across various sites in Mali and Ghana with the objective of certifying the use of Vipal repair products for heavy vehicle and off-the-road (OTR) tyres. With technicians from multiple nationalities and regions throughout West Africa completing both theoretical and ‘hands-on’ assessments to achieve certification.

Vipal’s technical team conducted the training, which was focused on damage identification, tyre preparation for repair, appropriate product selection and application techniques. As well as practical testing and evaluation to meet operational requirements from mining clients.

Vipal’s, strong experience aligns with our purpose and having the opportunity to offer this training with Vipal Europe is immensely valuable as it reinforces our commitment to achieving the highest standards of quality.

Don Vinay, Managing Director of WATS Group
