Lionel Gernolle, Director of the Arkema France Chemesis plant
From the definition of their business model to obtaining administrative approvals, project owners are accompanied from end to end through a one-stop shop. In less than a year, SNF Coagulants has thus obtained the endorsement of the public authorities and laid the first bricks of its new factory.
