Between 6 and 11 July 2026, the Técnico Solar Boat team, sponsored by Frezite, took part in the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge. This is a leading international competition in the field of sustainable mobility and maritime technologies, held at the Yacht Club de Monaco in Monaco. Throughout the week, the team put their São Gabriel 01 (SG01) prototype through its paces in various technical trials, achieving a significant milestone by competing for the first time in the Endurance Race, where they secured their first points in this demanding category. The highlight of the Portuguese team’s participation was the award of the Communication Prize, which recognises excellence in communicating the project and the ability to promote the values of innovation, sustainability and engineering to the international community. In addition, the competition provided a valuable opportunity for learning, knowledge-sharing and networking with university teams from around the world, reinforcing Técnico Solar Boat’s commitment to developing more sustainable energy solutions for the nautical sector. Frezite congratulates the whole team on this achievement and is proud to support a project that encourages innovation, promotes Portuguese engineering talent and contributes to a more sustainable future.

Between 30 June and 3 July 2026, FREZITE took part in the 11th edition of ForMóbile, held at the São Paulo Expo in São Paulo, Brazil. Regarded as the leading gathering for the furniture industry in Latin America, the trade fair brought together thousands of professionals and companies to showcase the latest innovations, trends and solutions for the sector. Over the four days of the event, the FREZITE team had the opportunity to strengthen relationships with clients and partners, exchange knowledge with industry professionals and showcase its latest solutions for wood processing and furniture production. The 2026 edition once again highlighted the dynamism and innovative capacity of the furniture industry, providing an ideal environment for networking, business development and the sharing of experiences between companies and sector specialists. FREZITE’s visibility during the event was also reflected in the communications material released by the organisers after the fair had closed, where the brand was prominently featured, further raising its profile amongst industry professionals.

In May and June, FREZITE ran two campaigns dedicated to high-performance solutions for various machining applications. These are the C. Dark and C. Rainbow ranges, carbide tools with specialised coatings designed to increase tool life, improve the finish quality of machined surfaces and enhance performance when machining different materials.

C. Dark
Developed for drilling and milling applications involving wood and wood-based materials. This solution has been designed to deliver high performance, precision and finish quality, meeting the demands of woodworking processes and contributing to more efficient and reliable operations. View campaign

C. Rainbow
Designed for drilling and milling operations on aluminium profiles. Featuring an ultra-thin, multi-coloured coating, this solution combines high hardness, abrasion resistance and a low coefficient of friction. This increases tool life, reduces the need for lubrication and improves productivity in the machining processes. View campaign

Under the motto “DISCOVER. EXPERIENCE. DO.”, FREZITE participated in the Holz-Handwerk 2026 trade show. It was the third time at the event for FREZITE, showcasing new products and reinforcing its commitment to innovation, precision engineering, and close ties to the industry. With the participation of FREZITE’s sales team in Germany, the company highlighted solutions for windows and tools that align with trends in timber-frame homes. With more than a thousand exhibitors and approximately 75,000 trade visitors, the HOLZ-HANDWERK 2026 trade fair, held in Nuremberg, once again confirmed its status as one of the most important European events dedicated to the wood industry and the processing of wood-based materials.

Frezite is preparing for its third participation in HOLZ-HANDWERK 2026, which will take place from 24 to 27 March in the city of Nuremberg, Germany. It is a meeting point for joiners, carpenters and furniture manufacturers from all over Europe, making it one of the leading trade fairs for the wood and wood-based materials industry. Under the slogan ‘Innovation meets tradition – the heart of craftsmanship beats in Nuremberg’, Frezite will present, among others, its coated tool solutions, as well as high-precision modular solutions for the joinery industry. With the support of a specialised engineering team, Frezite uses advanced 3D modelling technologies for tool design and optimisation, adapting them to the needs of the latest technologies on the market.

As part of the metalworking curriculum, on 10 February, FREZITE and SERI welcomed 45 students from the CNC Programming and Machining and Mechanical Construction Design courses at CENFIM's – Portuguese Professional Training Centre for the Metallurgical and Metalworking Industry – Trofa Centre. During the morning, the students visited the production units in Trofa, learning about the development and manufacturing processes for high-precision tools. In the afternoon, the visit continued at SERI, where they learned about customised clamping systems, produced on a turnkey basis. The fact that several FREZITE Group employees began their training at CENFIM reinforces the value of technical training and the role of these companies in creating professional development opportunities. The visits also highlighted the technological evolution of the sector and the decisive contribution of the metallurgy and metalworking industry to the economy and innovation.

Under the motto ‘Trends and what companies need to plan for now,’ the Technical Sales Convention of Brazilian machine manufacturer INMES was held in Braço do Norte (Santa Catarina State) on 21 January. Frezite Brazil was one of the companies invited and was represented by the Sales Director of the branch, Julliens Pereira. The training project for INMES's team of technical consultants, carried out in conjunction with its key suppliers, contributes to expanding the dissemination and appreciation of the Frezite brand throughout South America — especially since most INMES machines are equipped with Frezite tools. This participation reinforces the strategic partnership with the manufacturer and strengthens the brand's presence in the machinery segment in Brazil.

To end the year 2025 on a high note and start 2026 with the best energy, Frezite once again took part in the traditional São Silvestre races in Porto and Trofa. Several employees accepted the challenge and participated in both races, reinforcing team spirit and commitment to an active lifestyle. The São Silvestre do Porto race took place on 28 December, bringing together thousands of participants on an iconic route through the city. The São Silvestre da Trofa race took place on 10 January 2026, with the Alameda da Estação as the meeting point, which hosted the start and finish of the race. These initiatives, in which participants can choose between running (10 km) or walking (5 km), allow colleagues to come together and share experiences. Thank you to everyone who represented Frezite!
