About the ViscoRide Business:
In 2002, Chris Engelbrecht started the Australian division of GPA Ri-Dry, named GPA ViscoRide Services (Pty) Ltd with plans to revive the Australian market and take the business to new levels.
He has since acquired the balance of GPA Ri-Dry including the rights for Europe, Japan and the UK and is now the sole owner with exclusive rights to the ViscoRide name. The Australasian company was renamed ViscoRide Surfaces (Pty) Ltd in 2006. In 2007 ViscoRide Limited (UK) was formed with partners in the UK. ViscoRide Limited manages the marketing, installation and technical back up for the equine surfaces in the UK and K9 greyhound racing surfaces in the UK and Europe.
ViscoRide Surfaces recently installed tracks in Tasmania, Italy and in New South Wales, Australia and continues to make a difference in the equine industry where so much is dependent on a world class product and superior service.
