AZO GmbH + Co.KG, Osterburken, Germany, reports that its French sister company AZO EURL has moved to new premises in Vallet, north-west France, situated in the heart of the Muscadet wine-growing area. The French company had previously been in Nantes and the move to the new larger building represents an investment of around two million euros, laying the foundations for further expansion of its market position in France as well as within Europe as a whole.

 

Apart from offices and storerooms, the elegant building provides two meeting rooms, showrooms, test labs and 1000m² warehouse space. The pleasant atmosphere is conducive to close collaboration with customers to find solutions to meet their specific requirements and the new facilities provide a positive means of showcasing AZO’s expertise in ingredient handling. AZO EURL, which was founded in Paris in 1998, currently has 20 permanent employees and in 2015 achieved sales of some 6.8 million euros. www.azo.de
