BASE PROTECTION FOR SOCIAL.

OUR COMMITMENT FOR THE CHILDREN OF TIRANA. THE SHIS ASSOCIATION RECEIVES A DONATION OF 17K EURO.

The International Association for Solidarity (SHIS) is located at Tirana outskirts (Kombinat area), with the aim of helping vulnerable children in their cognitive, physical, psychological and social development. These are children who have school difficulties, who are offered a program of extracurricular support and family strengthening activities.

The proceeds were collected by Base Protection in the aftermath of the tragic earthquake that struck Albania on November 26, 2019.

Shortly before Christmas, the employees of the company decided to refrain from corporate gifting and instead donate the value to those who, after the seismic event, were experiencing serious situations of need.

The advent of Covid froze noble intentions for almost two years. Me-

anwhile, the company conducted rearch to gain information on the most urgent and critical issues on which it can intervene with its own support. The SHIS association, a non-profit organisation founded in 1998, works in partnership with the AVSI Foundation, active in 38 countries, including Italy.

“The future of children” - says Daniela Stolfi, General Manager of Base Protection - “depend on today’s adults. The quality of their life depends on our actions, on the decisions we make today. We all want our children to be able to live in a better world. We have chosen to devote our attention to this group of children who live on the outskirts of Tirana in disastrous conditions, as we would like their right to a true childhood to be guaranteed. In 2022 Tirana will be the European Youth Capital. We like to think that our support for SHIS can contribute towards training

young people, who can further grow this country, to which we are very attached. Our production center is near Tirana. It is a stateof-the-art production site, with all the technological tools necessary to ensure efficiency and safety at work, providing the same quality standards that we have in Italy.

We like to think that our future collaborators and managers can grow up among those children”.

During the donation formalisation ceremony, in the presence of SHIS

President Eni Rika, there was also talk about future collaborations between Base Protection and SHIS. We are thinking of organising training courses about safety in the workplace. The goal is to create a safety culture that, starting from children, can involve their parents, inviting them to use the necessary and specific safety devices for their work activities.

REOPENING EXHIBITIONS.

NEW RULES AND STRONG EMOTIONS.

The pandemic had left us all at home. All 2020 fairs were canceled, including the Parisian Expoprotection.

This year the conditions to reopen the pavilions have returned.

A+A, the largest continental fair exhibition about safety at work and Personal Protective Equipment, took place between 26 and 29 October 2021. With some limitations. The rules on spacing forced the organizers to reconsider the spaces, to draw up a restrictive regulation in terms of attendance within the exhibition area and on individual stands. But, despite the restrictions, we are satisfied. On the stand we met our old customers and many new potential prospects who expressed their enthusiasm for our products.

As always, there are many novelties proposed in Düsseldorf by Base Protection: the new styles of the i4 line, the 4X4 outsole of the Classic Plus models, but above all the awaited Fortrex new patent. This novelty, which will further enrich the Base catalog, was received with great interest by visitors.

“Coming back to the fair, presenting our products, talking about our commitment to finding the best solutions for workers, was really exciting”, says Daniela Stolfi, General Manager of Base Protection. “On the eve of the fair” - she continues – “we had the feeling of debuting in a brand-new situation. We have participated in many trade fairs every year, but coming back after a year of hiatus was like starting all over again. Between us and the customers there was a Plexiglas. We feared that this time the human relationship that is normally established with visitors would be missing, blocked by this barrier which, although transparent, created a distance. After the first few minutes, however, every hesitation was overcome. Carried away by the desire to show the great value of our new proposals, any fear of the day before vanished”.

There were no handshakes but in Düsseldorf we took a big step towards normality. We just must hope that the situation will continue improving. We still have so much more to design and share to enhance the lives of those who work with comfort.

I4: ALL SECRETS

Designed to support those who spend long time standing, mainly in the same position, the i4 manage the distribution of body weight on the feet in the best possible way, avoiding fatigue and pain, thanks to the application of spoilers that wrap around the heel, ensuring greater stability. It is the secret that allows Harry to no longer suffer from back pain.

That night Harry had to intervene on the machinery. The vibrations, previously noticed by Robert, have re-occurred. There was something wrong with the conveyor belt.

Harry had to spend several minutes with his foot flexed to locate the problem and try to fix it.

Thanks to the high flexibility of the shoe, keeping the foot flexed for a prolonged time did not cause any problems. The i4 has a structure of few elements, a solution that allows to contain the weight and flex the foot without encountering any resistance.

Industry 4.0 is characterised by the use of sophisticated electronic machinery. For this reason, all models are able to continuously dissipate the static electricity produced by the human body.

The presence of machinery in the 4.0 industry pavilions can generate an increase in temperatures. The Dry’n Air® dry foot system, keeps the foot dry, by activating a recirculation of air inside the shoe. The PPE is totally ecological. Each element is made with production waste materials.
