Every company must create work and distribute wealth to its collaborators, shareholders, agents, suppliers and the local area. We therefore need to create profitability, by constantly controlling costs and revenue, and preserve our margins. To do this, we draw up and follow programmes to improve our operational efficiency.

Over the years, our group has seen its turnover grow constantly thanks to diversification and an increase in production, both direct and contract.
