Patrick Jaeck is particularly looking forward to the new year this time. Because if everything goes smoothly, the branch manager of MiniTec France will be able to complete the expansion measures at his site in Saargemünd, Lorraine, at the end of January. "This will then create the conditions to best meet the growing demand on the French market for aluminum profiles as well as machines and systems from MiniTec," says Jaeck. In the future, the site will benefit from a second assembly hall with an area of 200 m2 as well as a logistics zone for several trucks. The new building will also house a seminar room for 35 people and a design department with eight employees. Thus armed, he and his team of currently 26 employees are looking ahead with confidence: "The potential for our range in France is enormous. With the improved infrastructure, we can optimally serve our steadily growing customer base and ensure speedy, high-quality order processing for the future as well."
