He continues, "These promising and encouraging results allow us to move to the next steps of our ‘International Strategy’. I would like to congratulate our team for their professional approach and our new partners and customers for their confidence in our company and our products".

Thierry Faguet, Director of Preactor Europe is equally delighted with such strong business wins. "In these early years we had the goal of improving the profile and visibility of Preactor in France and in the other countries that we work in. The quality and quantity of our business wins, especially this recent surge, have shown to all the countries where Preactor now successfully operates that we have achieved this. Europe is after all our number 1 market with more than 1600 accounts. He continues, “It also clearly shows that because of the flexibility and adaptability of our products to meet all types of challenges, customers can have confidence that there is a Preactor solution for everyone!"

Thierry Faguet is understandably very confident when it comes to looking forward to 2010. "We have already strengthened our team in Lyon and we will be recruiting further in anticipation of yet more projects we expect to sign in the next few weeks. We are of course pleased with the success and look forward to further growth in 2010.”
