Fricon endorses José Ramalho, K1 marathon paddler of Clube Fluvial Vilacondense, Five-time European Champion, and World Runner-up. This year, the Portuguese athlete, member of the National Canoe Team, represents the brand throughout the entire international circuit.

The decision to support the paddler from Vila do Conde is fundamentally based on the shared values that characterize José Ramalho as an athlete and Fricon as a brand. Fricon, an international company with Portuguese DNA, was founded in Vila do Conde, the Five-time European champion’s place of residence. The company is currently active worldwide and exports to over 100 countries. This is just another thing it shares in common with José Ramalho, whose results in the European and World Championships are another one of the points in common between the brands.

There is an even greater compatibility between Fricon and the champion José Ramalho.  Reliability, performance, resilience, and focus are characteristic to José Ramalho during the races and in each stage, which are also characteristic to the brand and encoded into its DNA when it comes to developing Fricon solutions throughout more than 40 years of history.

Today, José Ramalho wins the Gold in WaterlandAmsterdam, the first round of the 2018 World Circuit. Learn more about this partnership here
