00:00RotoGroup is a global company, the headquarter is in Germany.

00:09We have more than 20 subsidiaries worldwide, and we have a factory in Shanghai, and we

00:14have warehouses in Beijing, and Chengdu, and Guangzhou.

00:20We took part in the bidding in 2023, and we faced very tough competition from other global

00:28companies.

00:29Finally, we successfully bought the tender for the Paris Olympic Village.

00:36It's about 20,000 square meters of temporary structures.

00:41We faced several challenges in Paris Olympic Village.

00:46First, Paris is very focused on the environmental protections.

00:51They will increase all the carbon route for every product.

00:55They don't want us to destroy or damage the ground they offer to us, so normally for building

01:03you have to do the ground construction and for the embedding, but we cannot.

01:08We have a kind of patent for the modular flooring.

01:12This modular flooring has several functions.

01:15One function is to level the ground, because the ground has more than one meter height

01:20difference, and also this modular flooring can fix the tent to prevent it from the wind.

01:28Don't let the water come in, the rainwater come into the tent.

01:32Also we have a modular glass facade system, so you can have modular glass walls and also

01:39modular solid walls for the structure and also for the doors.

01:44So all these modular things make all the erection and dismantle very easy.

01:49Also didn't affect the environment.

01:52That is very important for Paris Olympic and even for our earth.

01:57You can take it back and without any waste.

02:01And also for the roof, we use soft PVC, white PVC.
