The world has a new country!

hms easy stretch delivered the appropriate framework for the independence celebration of South Sudan.

South Sudan. The newest country on the planet sought to celebrate its founding and independence in the capital city of Juba on the White Nile in a glamorous setting. In order to create shade for the guests of honour and dignitaries, South Sudan employed hms easy stretch and other companies from the Heilbronn area.
Losberger Intertent GmbH created an entire landscape of tents on an open area, including a 30 x 65 metre long event tent and a 165 m² large VIP tent in which hms easy stretch provided the appropriate ambience for the evening by installing elegant material decorations. Air conditioners were installed to ensure that the guests of honour were comfortable with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius in the shade.

This may all sound somewhat less than spectacular if you don't know the special circumstances for the delivery of the material. The material was shipped to Ethiopia in 20 containers from a Belgian military airport with Russian Antonov cargo aircraft and then driven to the destination overland using trucks. Due to the delay of the convoy, only two-and-a-half days were left for the setup instead of the ten that were planned. The tents will set up in record time with the support of all of the companies involved and some local helpers. hms easy stretch was able to install 2,500 m² of material in only 24 hours so that all of the following crews also had the opportunity to finish their tasks.

The only thing for which consensus has not yet been reached in the name of the country. Some people call it "South Sudan", others "New Sudan", while still others have suggested the name "Kush", which roughly means lower Nile. It remains to be seen what the 54th country in Africa will officially be called. With this in mind: welcome South Sudan!
