In order to expand its Brazilian business, Polarcus has teamed up with Sinergeo for the management of Polarcus do Brazil in Rio de Janeiro.
With the addition of Marcelo Fonseca and Marcos Gallotti to the company’s management team, Polarcus entered into a new representation agreement on 1 September.
