French weighing specialist continues to expand
Precia Molen, Privas, France, a leading international specialist in the field of industrial and commercial weighing, has reported cumulated sales of €95.4M in 2014, showing a 7.2% rise compared to 2013. Over the past year the company has completed the acquisition of three key players in the industrial weighing sector: Barbier Weighing, a family-run group located in north-west France and Paris which has traded successfully for more than 50 years; Antignac SAS, located in south-west France; and Shering Weighing Ltd, based in Dunfermline, Scotland, (see EBS News for week of 6 October 2014) which since 1946 has concentrated on weighbridge manufacture.
Company CEO René Colombel commented: “The macro-economic context of 2015, which combines the decline of the euro and recovery plans, should enable the company to see its domestic and export business progress. The recent acquisition of the Barbier companies will also provide a real source of growth in the domestic market.” Precia Molen has its main production plants located in Privas and Veyras, in France’s Ardèche region, from which 35% of production is exported. The group currently has more than 850 employees worldwide, including 180 based in the Ardèche. This represents a 36% increase of the workforce in five years. www.preciamolen.com
