> DIAB 2017 The Diab collec�on is an excellent choice for ‘on the go’ shoes for diabe�cs. Besides the fact that they are great looking shoes, they have some very special features that make them unique (see image). Diabetes feet need special a�en�on. We know this and we design our shoes for foot types which need that extra care. Leathers and linings are smooth, so� and seamless for the reduc�on of pressure points. Our shoes are supplied with two interchangeable insoles: a comfortable 5 mm cork/leather foot bed and a 5 mm cork insole, which can be used to compensate the total volume of our shoes. Once both insoles are removed you will get sufficient space for your custom made ortho�cs or insoles. Go to our website for more informa�on on the models.

Last month Nimco introduced the 10 good reasons to work at Nimco. We think it is important that our employees develop their talents so we offer them a con�nue training programme. Besides that, we have a health and safety at work programme in order to make sure that all our work is done in a safe way and that the safety and health of our employees is guaranteed. We work as a team. And that is also very important to us. Every sugges�on of each employees we value. All these elements makes our company vital. It is proven that vital people are crea�ve, involved and loyal. And they are people who think out of the box. Above that, vital people are less (longer) ill and are pro-ac�ve. In our
rela�onship with our partners we also search for this vital a�tude. In the Netherlands, Mariska van Vondelen, who works for our Newsle�er, developed a customized interac�ve lecture ‘(More) vital at work’ for companies in order to encourage employees to live vital. The programme is based on the book ‘The 5 principles of a vital lifestyle’, which she wrote with fitness instructor Enrico Brehm. These 5 principles (see info) are the basis for healthy and vital people/employees. At the lecture the a�enders learn how to apply the principles in their private and working life. A�erwards employees can have their eat- and movement lifestyle checked.
Because Nimco wants to spread its vision on vitality, Nimco offers you 10% discount on the in company lecture ‘(More) vital at work’ and at the book ‘The 5 principles of a vital lifestyle’ which is only available in Dutch. For more informa�on and bookings: www.vi-tale.nl
Nimco has a new sales team in Germany Eight experienced agents will take the specialty shoes for diabetics line to the whole German territory Nimco has a new sales team in Germany. Eight experienced agents will represent the specialty shoes for diabe�cs line in the whole German territory. From 1 January 2018 on, Nimco Made4You will have a team of agents dedicated exclusively to the German market. These eight representa�ves will commercialize the specialty shoes for our diabe�cs collec�on. This collec�on, developed in March 2017, is eligible for reimbursement in Germany under the social security license number 31.03.08.0010. The new associates, who will work as Nimco independent agents, will cons�tute the company’s external service, which, together with a German speaking internal team, aims to strengthen the Nimco label in that country.
With specific qualifica�ons and broad experience in the orthopaedic field, the eight professionals are well known by many German companies due to their successful and long rela�onship with Spannrit. The crea�on of this team results from an increasing demand for specialty shoes for diabe�cs, no�ced by Nimco since the collec�on’s presenta�on in March, which jus�fies a bigger investment in consul�ng and assistance. Up un�l now, Nimco footwear has been available in Germany through the Euro-Service-Depots at Euro-Leder, a partnership which will be ending officially on 31 December 2017. Nimco’s collec�on of specialty shoes for diabe�cs will be presented in Germany during the Orthopädie
