Bruno Le Maire is back to school this Thursday in Annecy in Haute-Savoie. He must present his priorities there for the next few weeks and it will, for sure, be a question of industry. The Minister of Economy and Finance chose a company for this first back-to-school trip, the Fournier group, and it is anything but a coincidence.
It’s back to school for Bruno Le Maire. Traveling to Annecy this Thursday, the Minister of the Economy will present his priorities for the coming weeks. The Minister has also chosen to visit the Fournier company and this is no coincidence.
“We are the archetype of the company, of intermediate size, French family which is developing”
The Fournier group has existed for more than 100 years. It is better known by the name of one of its brands, Mobalpa, because it is one of its activities, the manufacture of furniture, kitchens, but also bathrooms and more broadly custom-made furniture.
The group is in good economic health: 2,000 employees and 400 million euros in turnover. A family business headed today by Philippe Croset, who represents the fourth generation of the family. “Initially, in 1907, we made chalets, skis and kitchen buffets. And in fact, it was from 1949, with the birth of the Mobalpa brand, that this company specialized in furniture It’s always been the same family, everything we make is 100% made in France. We’re the archetype, let’s say, of the company, of intermediate size, French family that is developing.” , he says at the microphone of Europe 1.
It is on this aspect that Bruno Le Maire wants to emphasize. The Minister of the Economy will also pass by the new Fournier factory, 20,000 square meters less than ten kilometers from the headquarters. 90 million euros of investments and a hundred recruitments at the key.
