Luoman, enchanted by the welcome and the dynamics of the Rhone-Alpes region
In the context of its development project for Southern Europe, Luoman requested assistance from the ERAI (Agence Rhône-Alpes à l'International) for identifying a site that corresponded to what it required.
After several visits to the Ain with the Ain Economic Mission, the company decided to set itself up on the Plaine de l'Ain Industrial Park. "We were very pleased with the welcome and the assistance offered to us both on a regional and a local level," states Thierry Rimbert, commercial director for France.
"This explains why we chose to accept the offer made by the Rhone-Alpes region". "Choosing the Plaine de l'Ain Industrial Park is logical and corresponds to our company's values: Economic dynamics and close attention paid to the environment. Moreover, the site is perfectly placed for serving Italy, Switzerland, Spain, etc".
As a result, Luoman has purchased a building of 3,500 m² in the industrial zone with a plot of land at its side for meeting future development requirements. This site will become the new southern Europe platform with functions related to commercial and after-sales service activities.
