Certoma marks 40 years with urban hygiene colloquium at Luso hotel

Certoma, a Mealhada-based seller of street-cleaning machinery and equipment, is celebrating its fortieth anniversary at the Grande Hotel de Luso. A morning colloquium on Friday 23 October, starting at 9.30, will look at the challenges facing the sector, with solutions aimed at municipalities and parish councils. The opening features the environment secretary of state and the head of the Coimbra metropolitan intermunicipal community. Two panels follow, one on water and sanitation and one on street cleaning, with speakers from regional water companies, Lisbon city council and Cascais Ambiente. The celebrations continue with a dinner and a performance by Herman José.
