Our Chairman, Marcel de Botton, received on 11th April the highest academic distinction, the honorary doctorate, awarded by University of Minho. The ceremony was chaired by the Rector, Professor António Cunha and happened in the hall of Medieval Rectory University of Minho, Largo do Paço, Braga. Yet issued in the same day, two other honorary doctorates to two more unique personalities of our time.

In his speech Marcel de Botton thanked all those who have always supported him, stressing that its success is due to hard work and many sacrifices, having bet on plastic when his own father don't believed in a bright future for it. Note that after this ceremony, the University only has twelve honorary degrees awarded in total.
