MANAGER’S WORD

Ladies and Gentlemen!

Concerned about the construction and development of our activities, we almost

missed the fact that we are already on the second half of 2017. If, on one hand,

we find that our efforts are being achieved and, even with enormous sacrifices,

on the other hand, we cannot forget to observe that in the political sphere many

of those involved are contradicting what they preach in their political campaigns

not being worried about Brazil or Brazilians. We deeply regret that the response

of the Judiciary does not always come at the rate at which the increasingly

robust evidence is being presented daily by the media.

At the same time, it is our civic duty, to believe in the institutions with the strong

hope that someday we will stop being deemed as underdeveloped and be re-

cognized as Entrepreneurs, respecting the in-force laws, seeking with courage

and dedication a sustained workplace growth and our company’s technological

updates. If there are problems in our lovely Brazil due to those who would be

the first responsible for ethics, we cannot accept such circumstances. As we

are all in the same boat, we have the social responsibility to show the world

that, in the contrary to what some people claim, we believe in a better future.

Says the popular saying that when a tree falls, it makes more noise than an

entire forest growing silently. May this trust and security in tomorrow be our

flag, as it is founded on the Christ’s teaching which assured us that “good shall

triumph over the evil.” Let’s trust in god and in ourselves.

A big hug to everyone and may God give us the courage and strength to over-

come the next challenges.

Attending the J.Carlos Móveis resellers’ invitation, architects from Recife visited the Cavaletti factory in Erechim, on the April 27th and 28th, 2017. The guests had the opportunity to get a closer look at the manufacturing details, the portfolio, the showroom, and the trends in work environments.

Cavaletti took part in the Milan Design Week from April 4 to 9, 2017, which presented an overview of contemporary world design. It is the first time that a Brazilian brand for office chairs participates in an event of this size. This proves Cavaletti’s commitment to aligning the quality of its products with the latest in the world’s design landscape. The participation took place at the Exposição BE BRASIL, promo-ted by APEX-Brasil, with the Cavaletti Idea model, and in parallel Ca-valetti was also selected by Abimóvel to participate as an Exhibitor at Salone del Mobile, which this year focused on spaces for office, Workplace 3.0. For the Superintendent Director, Mr. Gilmar José Cavaletti, Milan Design Week is a great showcase for the Brazilian design, as it has attracted with a growing interest of international buyers over the years. “We received a large audience and con-

“The technical visit to the Cavaletti factory was a unique experience in my life. In addition to the pro-fessional knowledge gained, I brought back with me the example of life of people from simple ba-ckgrounds, who came from the countryside (who are proud of it) and who are already conquering the world today. I noticed in Cavaletti more than a brand, but a real family which I feel part of it today. Because over there they always make you feel welcome!” Architect Barbara Cereja

Cavaletti supports high-efficiency vehicle development inpartnership with IFRS - Erechim Campus

Power Experience Mater Dei event is supported by Cavaletti and Softplace dealer

In 2015, teachers and students of the Mechanical Engineering cour-se of IFRS - Campus Erechim, in partnership with Cavaletti and other local industries, started the project to develop a low fuel consumption vehicle. Its purpose goes beyond applying in practice the knowledge acquired in the classroom, as it aims to contribute to the current so-cial, academic and technological challenges, to reduce the consump-tion of means of transportation.Such a vehicle is developed aiming to participate in competitions, where it beats the prototype that consumes the least possible amou-nt of energy to travel a certain distance. In this way, the student’s course formed the team called Drop Team and among them is the collaborator of the Engineering sector of Cavaletti, Gustavo Henrique Ceni.

On April 8th, 2017, Cavaletti and the reseller Softplace Resale, were together supporting a healthy challenge in Belo Horizonte / MG. The Power Experience Mater Dei was a memorable day for indoor cycling and healthy lifestyle lovers.The sports event, promoted by the Mater Dei Health Network, the Power Cycle Academy and Evolve gathered 600 people and offered several spinning classes-shows in the helipad located at the top of Mater Dei Hospital, in Santo Agostinho unit. The main objective was to encourage the practice of physical activity as a fundamental ally for health promotion, since the main diseases are caused by the se-dentary lifestyle. Cavaletti has been with its products in the lounge area, offering participants a pleasant, comfortable environment for relaxation and integration.

Between the years 2015 and 2016 several studies were carried out by the Drop Team, many in partnership with the local industry, for the design and manufacture of the vehicle. The first experience of participating in competition took place precisely in the first time that Shell Eco- marathon was held in Brazil in November 2016 at the Granja Viana kart track in Cotia / SP. In 2017, it is expected to hold three similar competitions: Brazil Sustainable Energy Award, South America Energy Efficiency Marathon and Shell Eco-marathon.

The new headquarters project was developed by MOS Architects Associates, an office that has been active in the field of architec-ture and urbanism throughout Brazil since 1999. The new building represents the unification of the company’s operations, concentra-ting all the teams in one place and facilitating the integration and interdependence of the various departments. “During the creative process and development of the design of the project, we sought an image of a corporate building that would allow people to meet and integrate the company,” explains Ricardo Monti, master architect of MOS Architects Associates.Established the implantation and the functionality of the building, the work areas, when necessary, were divided with glass walls, allowing the visual permeability between the people and the external lands-cape. We aimed at healthy environments with natural lighting, high air quality, visual quality, ergonomic and acoustic that favored the flexibility and expansion demanded by the high growth and deve-lopment of the company. “In a constant research, and closeness with customers and their employees, we also sought environments that allowed the interaction and collaboration of the different teams through support furniture for each type of performed work, such asmeeting rooms of different sizes, auditoriums, training rooms, lou-

nges for informal meetings and spaces for decompression,“ says architect Gui Soares of MOS Architects Associates.Uniting these concepts, the interior architecture project culminated in the creation of an open environment that enhanced the integration, flexibility of configurations and communication between working groups, conducted by the Guilherme Moki Arquitetura office. “For the workspace spaces, a completely open layout was applied, allowing the teams settings according to the project demand, helping the communication and visibility of the activities,” says the architect Guilherme Moki.The Cavaletti is present in this project with line chairs Cavaletti Vélo that complement the body of work and offer comfort and ergonomics for high yield. The work was carried out by the Elfort Office resale, in Florianópolis. “We made presentations explaining functional and ergonomic characteristics so that there was a greater adaptation in relation to the activities and to the own work station, aiming at thefull satisfaction of the users,” said Jeferson Silveira. “The partnership between Elfort Office, the Nisul and Cavaletti representation were the key point for the completion and customer satisfaction,” he said.

Understanding the situation of Erechim fountains and the technolo-gies used in the treatment of water were the topics addressed in the lecture by Edison de Moraes, Assistant of Treatment of Corsan. At the lecture, which took place at Cavaletti on March 21, 2017, he presented the structure of the institution and explained to the employees about the responsibility of the public water supply ma-nagement, that besides the companies and the public power, the population in General can also contribute. Water is a natural resour-ce considered the fuel for the life of virtually all plant and animal species. Therefore, the importance of avoiding the pollution of the springs, besides the awareness about the proper use of the water.

Depression has become a real epidemic in our day. People of all so-cial levels, of all ages, can be affected by it. It is estimated that 350 million people worldwide suffer from this disease. That is why, this year, Depression was the theme chosen by WHO for World Health Day (remembered on April 7). The focus of the campaign is to talk about depression as a vital component of healing, thereby reducing the stigma surrounding the issue.With the objective of bringing information focused on the preventionof diseases and the quality of life of employees, Cavaletti held a lec-ture on April 11, 2017, with the psychologist Ms. Mônica Kieling of the CPA (Applied Psychology Center) of the Erechim URI. According to Mônica, it is possible to overcome this disease with some atti-tudes. “Change the routine, do different activities, practice physical exercises, have leisure time and maintain a balanced diet. The key to preventing depression is to have quality of social life, reconciling the tensions of everyday life with activities that generate well-being. Your body and your mind are grateful!” Mônica points out.

Currently, we are living in a period of economic caution, so it is es-sential to plan for household expenditures. Cavaletti created an ins-tructive lecture program for its employees, aiming to offer knowledge and tools to control expenses.For the development of this program, Cavaletti counts on the partici-pation of Professor Valmor Vancin, from the Uri - Erechim Faculty of Conscious Sciences. The program was created in 2015 and so far, 5 meetings have been held, the last one being held on May 23rd, 2017. The company intends to reach as many employees as possible with this program, since having a finantial organization, the employee will be more relaxed in the family and professional environment and, in an appropriate way, can better program their acquisitions.

March 22 is World Water Day. The date was instituted by the UN in 1992 to warn the planet’s population about the need to avoid waste and to conserve river basins and tributaries. Only 0.77% of the wa-ter on Earth is potable, and therefore companies and institutions are looking for ways to preserve the resource.

Knowing Cavaletti: Warehouse

Cavaletti supports environmental actions

One of the main activities of the Warehousesector is to control the entry and exit of ma-terials delivered or withdrawn from Cavalet-ti’s stock. The Warehouse has 14 employees and is one of the essential support sectors for Cavaletti, because it has a responsibili-ty to ensure that the right materials are in the right quantity, in the right place, when necessary. This team works in the two plants and is responsible for checking the invoices with the orders and organizing the stock of raw materials, preserving their physical integrity and conditions of use. It also monitors materials in the production sectors and restores them through factory requisitions. All so that nothing is missing and the sectors can work quietly with the materials on your range.

Urban afforestation plays a key role in cities. Much more than lands-cape, it acts in the dynamics of these scenarios, interacting with the environment, society and with its economy. In view of this, Cavaletti supported the preparation of the 3rd edition of the Erechim Urban Forestry Primer, in partnership with the City Hall and the Environment Department.The information in this booklet will assist the entire community in the planning, implementation and maintenance of conscious tree planting, as well as providing information on how to keep trees heal-thy. The primer will be used throughout the year by the Environment
