In the year in which it completes five decades of history, Vipal Rubber has another reason to celebrate. The company has been included in the Valor 1000 ranking for another year, prepared by the newspaper Valor Econômico in partnership with the São Paulo Business Administration School of Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV) and Serasa Experian. The complete ranking with all featured Brazilian companies is available in the 23rd Valor 1000 Yearbook.

A global reference in products for retreading and repairing passenger, commercial, agricultural and OTR (off the road) tyres, Vipal Rubber is one of the best-ranked companies in its segment, as one of the largest in the Plastics & Rubber sector. Today, the company has seven factories, five in Brazil, one in Argentina and one in the United States, which have a physical structure of almost 230 thousand square meters. In Brazil, there are two in Nova Prata (RS), one in Feira de Santana (BA) and another in Lagoa Santa (MG). In Argentina, the Vipal factory is in Perez, Santa Fe, and on North American the unit is in Madison, in the state of Tennessee. These six factories have an installed capacity of over 20 thousand tons per month, and the company also has another tyre retreading machine factory in Nova Prata (RS). The installation of branches and 15 distribution centres located in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, United States, Spain, Slovenia and England demonstrate the scale of the brand's internationalization, present in more than 90 countries around the world. 

Now 23 years old, the Valor 1000 yearbook is one of the most respected publications in the business publications in the country and has established itself as a valuable instrument for consultation and analysis of the Brazilian business segment. The consolidated results of the companies that make up the thousand largest companies in the country are the result of a collective effort of collection, processing, tabulation and analysis carried out based on consolidated financial statements and other strategic data.
