Already having high-performance industrial tools ready to absorb this level of production, the group announces that it has managed to recruit 164 people since the start of the year, including 120 in France, despite a shortage of candidates.

The news will also be sustained in the coming months with the expected releases of the new BALI 4.4 and the brand new model of the CATANA brand, the OCEAN CLASS.
