FAREWELL TO THE YEAR THE WAY OF BITAFAL

Music, prizes and a lot of joy to close 2025 together.

Everyone knows it: December is a month to celebrate. And at BITAFAL, the end of the year party is a tradition, which is surpassed each year in organization and team participation.

That's why we organized a meeting for our entire team, which had everything necessary to spend a nice moment together. On this occasion, the leadership of the meeting fell to a duo calling themselves “The Low Cost”, made up of our head of Human Resources Marinella Fernández and the recently arrived head of Logistics Alvaro Brugman, who took the entire team through all the sensations: joy, excitement, music and many prizes.

Our directors Claudio and Santiago Kröger were in charge of reviewing what we experienced throughout 2025 and putting the emphasis on everything that is coming next year. There was no shortage of recognition for the career of several members of the team, as well as emotional and fun words from the honorees.

And after a break for the gastronomic proposal, it was time for music, with the band “P40” directed by our dear colleague Fernado Cardozo, who made the entire audience dance for more than an hour.

This is how we close the year at BITAFAL, in our own way, together, making our motto as a team a reality: #SomosUno!!!

BITAFAL led the Uruguayan delegation at the main road industry congress

One of the most important milestones of the year was our participation in the 23rd Ibero-Latin American Asphalt Congress CILA in Asunción, Paraguay. The event brought together the highlights of the road industry at a regional and global level, with more than 1,100 participants from more than 20 countries, to learn about the trends, innovations and perspectives of the sector in the medium and long term.

In this context, once again the Uruguayan delegation stood out for the quantity and quality of projects presented in the different instances of the congress. And within them, the presentations of our general director Santiago Kröger on the “Impact of the Incorporation of Warm Mixes in Uruguay” and on the “Deregulation of Asphalt and Technological Changes” stood out for their scientific rigor and their vision towards the future of the asphalt industry in our country and also in the region.

The projects presented by the students of the BITAFAL UM Sustainable Asphalt Chair were also highly valued, as well as the work of technicians from the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works and representatives of other companies that make up the Uruguayan road construction cluster.

The BITAFAL team was also made up of our founding director Claudio Kröger and the members of the Commercial and Marketing department Victoria García and Ezequiel González, who were able to exchange experiences with representatives of the main companies in the asphalt industry in the region. The occasion was conducive to deepening technical and commercial links, generating new business opportunities and prospecting the incorporation of new technological solutions.

With more than 20 editions, the CILA is the event par excellence of the asphalt industry, the area where you can learn about the state of the art of a very dynamic and strategic sector for all countries. In this edition, highly topical topics were incorporated into the debate, such as digitalization, Big Data, sustainability, performance-based road safety, financing modalities for road work and also the participation of women in the industry.

WE PRESENT OUR ELECTROLINE AT EXPOCARGA

With all the energy, the BITAFAL team participated in the largest transportation and logistics meeting in the country.

In the first days of December, a new edition of Expo Carga was held, the main event of the cargo transportation industry in Uruguay that takes place every two years at the Punta del Este Convention Center.

BITAFAL had a very active presence at the fair, presenting its electric station project that is under construction at our plant on Route 8 with a stand set up for the occasion.
In addition, our general director Santiago Kröger was invited to speak on the Electric Mobility 4.0 panel, along with the president of Ancap Cecilia San Román, the national director of Energy Arianna Spinelli and the head of Electric Mobility at UTE Diego Bentancur. On that occasion Santiago was able to explain in depth the transformation of the energy matrix of our plant, completely converting to solar energy and biomass, and the scope of the electric station project, powered 100% with energy from renewable sources. Likewise, he commented on the experience that BITAFAL has been developing with its 100% electric high-load truck, the first of these characteristics to circulate in Uruguay.

At the stand we present one of the 500 KW chargers that will be part of the 12 total chargers that the electric station will have, being one of the most powerful in the country, which will be very useful for transport companies, both cargo and passenger. The strategic location of the project positions it as fundamental support for all companies located in that area of Montevideo and in the industrial area surrounding the city of Pando and that wish to transition their fleet to electric mobility.
The occasion was excellent to carry out great networking work by the BITAFAL Commercial and Logistics team, sharing experiences and projecting future actions with companies from different sectors of activity.
