NOF Metal Coatings Europe is part of the worldwide NOF Corporation. The organization is a major player in the chemical industry, they invent and develop chemical materials with all kinds of applications. Our customer, NOF Metal Coatings Europe, with locations in Grobbendonk and Creil (France), focuses on the production and sale of corrosion-resistant coatings, multifunctional coatings, etc. With the Antwerp Port Night event, we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the company as well as the retirement of Mr Smets. The event started in a beautiful tent linked to the NOF Metal Coatings Europe company building in Grobbendonk. We expect 96 guests from our own country, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Spain. Once they arrived they were shown around the company and could enjoy a snack and drink. In this way, colleagues from other countries get to know the company site in Belgium better and understand better what their work entails. In the afternoon, the guests left for the second event location, a beautiful boat located on the Scheldt in Antwerp. During the reception, guests were offered a glass of the Diamond Cocktail and can have their “diamond” checked by the expert present. Jeanette Silhouette also provided the necessary animation as a portrait cutter and Luigi & Friends provided pleasant background music. During dinner the guests could enjoy mindblowing tricks by mentalist Piet Kusters and cozy portraits by Jeanette Silhouette. After dinner, the guests moved back to the lounge where Luigi & Friends opened the evening party. Then Jean Bosco Safari and his pianist released the personalized NOF song, a tailor-made song in honor of Mr. Smets and a number of Beatles songs. After this Luigi & Friends take over again, because the real dance party could begin! We provided VR animation for the guests who prefer not to dance. The next day we invited the guests to divide according to the activity they chose in advance: guided tour of the MAS, visiting the Rubens House or City Foot Golf. After this, the guests were offered a delicious lunch on the boat, after which they collected their luggage and headed home. What a blast of an event!
