Tour de Pologne with BOPLAN security system

Boplan® and Drutex together in the handlings of the barriers.

In a few days, Poland will see the arrival
of an innovative security system by the Belgian brand BOPLAN. All this
because of the upcoming Tour de Pologne, in which, for the first time in
Poland, such modern solutions will be used in a stage cycling race.
Another partner of the Tour de Pologne, DRUTEX, is logistically
supporting this project.

BOPLAN barriers and totems will be installed at the finish lines as well
as in critical places along the race route.

BOPLAN is a Belgian brand specialized in the design and production of
various reliable security systems using environmentally friendly
materials and top technology in terms of installation and operation. The
BOPLAN Science Centre is located in Wolverhampton, where the most
advanced and innovative solutions are developed. The BOPLAN SPORT line
is focused on the protection of athletes, spectators and organisers in
sporting events.

This spring, the brand’s solutions secured, among others, the route of
the Flemish cycling classic and the Saxo Bank Classic. BOPLAN systems
protected the cyclists in critical places and from obstacles – such as
cables on the race route, speed bumps and road signs. Today, the BOPLAN
race barriers solution is the most advanced of its kind and the most
modern in the brand’s portfolio.

The Tour de Pologne is not only the most important cycling event in
Poland, but it also means cooperation between race partners. There would
be no implementation of BOPLAN solutions on the route, if not for the
support of another partner of Tour de Pologne – DRUTEX. Since the
beginning of its existence, this leading European manufacturer of
windows, doors, roller shutters and external blinds has been strongly
involved in many initiatives in the field of corporate social
responsibility, including the promotion of sport, and the partnership
with the Tour de Pologne is an example. It is worth mentioning that,
apart from the Tour de Pologne, the brand has been the sponsor of the
Tour of Nations, addressed to the U-23 riders, for two years. Moreover,
for many years it has been supporting the activities of MKS Baszta
Bytow, a distinguished cycling club, under the aegis of which Czeslaw
Lang competed years ago. As an official sponsor of this year’s Tour de
Pologne, DRUTEX – which is the logistic partner of the event – is also
responsible for the delivery of BOPLAN solutions from Belgium to Poland,
on the route of the race and back.
