François Biarneix, Operations Director, Vallair said, “I was attracted by the strong leadership from the CEO and senior team, as well as the great potential for development and growth over the next five years. I see opportunities ahead for implementing standards and procedures, optimizing layouts, deploying Lean tools, and streamlining processes to improve Turnaround Times (TATs) and deliver increased cost savings for customers. I believe one of our greatest strengths as a Company is our flexibility and the ability to adapt to market trends and changing demand.
