Shaping the future

By Pierre-Marie Lehucher, Chief Executive Officer

 

Thanks to our strong establishment in Spain and Canada and also to our development in Belgium and Morocco, 20% of Berger-Levrault’s turnover this year has been generated outside of its historical territory. The internationalization we were planning in our BL 2020 project has now become a reality. Let us congratulate ourselves on having reached this milestone; which over and above the profitability of the group, contributes to the enrichment and diversity of our skills and know-how.

Business, management, development, technologies, professions…
We are currently changing our practices within the emergence of an international culture and a competitive innovation policy. As we lead shared projects we build the common sense of our mission at the service of education, medical-social, health and public authorities.

Berger-Levrault employs nowadays 1400 people. Half of the total Spanish local authorities is equipped with our products, two thirds of French local authorities, North American, Qatari and even Hong Kong Universities… We can be proud of who we are. I certainly am.

Happy New Year to everyone!
