Operations at Cergy, Nanterre and Andilly have now all been relocated to the brand new facility as part of the medium-term plan to merge the three companies.
The stunning new facility includes a state of the art assembly and testing area tailor-made for FCX France, which will be used to rigorously test completed automated valve packages.
Warehousing and shipping facilities have been rethought and the new building also includes a single centralised IT, Finance and Administration function to cope with an increased workload.
