Premier Tech opens a new production site in France

Premier Tech Water and Environment continues its expansion in France with a new site in Montbrison, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

This site for the production and commercialization of sustainable wastewater treatment and rainwater management solutions will support the company's growth and strengthen its presence in the French market, while increasing its manufacturing capacity.

“This new site will accelerate Premier Tech Water and Environment's growth in the French market and allow us to deliver more value to our customers,” says Luc Langlois, president of Premier Tech Water and Environment.

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 of sales and 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, reduced delivery times, and lower greenhouse gas emissions related to transportation,” adds Julien Gilles, senior director of operations for Premier Tech Water and Environment in France.

Supporting the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region

Premier Tech acknowledges the support of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, which has contributed more than €130 000 for the development of the new manufacturing site in Montbrison.

“The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region is pleased to have supported Premier Tech Water and Environment — as part of the ‘Pack relocalization’ program — in its sustainable on-site wastewater systems manufacturing facility project in Montbrison, which will create nearly 10 jobs,” says Stéphanie Pernod, the region's senior vice-president for the economy, relocation, regional preference, and digital affairs.

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