At first, Stéphane de Gélis' objective is to "to be in the continuity of Denis Boudenne's work" the new director of the site, which has a turnover of more than 50 million euros, tells us.
Investments of several million euros are planned as every year. "In 2022, these investments will be used - as they are for many companies - to improve energy performance and reduce water consumption."
