“Beyond establishing the company and creating jobs in the Loire Forez Agglomération, we are also focused on innovations in wastewater systems — both collective and onsite —, always striving to better protect water resources,” says Thierry Hareux, vice-president for wastewater and rainwater management.

The new Montbrison site

The Montbrison site includes a production facility and a point of service, centralizing the entire manufacturing process while maintaining proximity to clients. Over time, Premier Tech Water and Environment aims to extend this business model to other sites in France.

“The opening of this new site fully aligns with the development strategy of Premier Tech, driven by its commitment to always deliver more value to its clients. The prime location of this site will allow Premier Tech to amplify its presence in the market regionally and nationally, while enhancing interactions with local partners and clients, positioning the new site as a strategic business location for the group,” says Yann Nedellec, senior director sales — business development for Premier Tech Water and Environment in France.

“By strengthening its presence in the French market, Premier Tech extends its activities while getting closer to its clients. This proximity will lead to stronger relationships, an enhanced Client Experience and reduced delivery times as well as GHG emissions related to transportation,” says Julien Gilles, senior director operations for Premier Tech Water and Environment in France.
