(eap) The Dutch roller coaster manufacturer Vekoma Rides Manufacturing is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Together with its employees, customers and partners, the company is marking this special milestone through exclusive events and initiatives.
On the occasion of its 100th anniversary, Vekoma launches a limited-edition merchandise collection.
For its fans in particular, the company – founded in 1926 and initially specializing in steel and mechanical engineering for the agricultural sector before evolving into a globally leading manufacturer of roller coasters and amusement rides – has created a limited-edition merchandise collection. The range includes items such as T-shirts, caps and hoodies in sizes for both children and adults, available via Vekoma’s anniversary website (Vekoma100Years.com).
Proceeds from the sales will support two charitable organizations: Give Kids The World in the United States and Stichting Leergeld Roermond in the Netherlands. The latter supports children from low-income families in participating in school and extracurricular activities.
Vekoma CEO Anne-Mart Agerbeek commented: “Marking 100 years of Vekoma is a milestone we are proud to celebrate together with our fans. I am therefore delighted to launch this unique merchandise collection as a tribute to a century of Vekoma. By supporting the charities Give Kids The World and Stichting Leergeld Roermond, we are giving something back to the next generation.”
To mark the occasion together with its fans, the company will launch the Century Collection starting April 15, an exclusive, limited-edition merchandise collection available as a pre-order for eight weeks only. ■
