Four years ago, the company had a staff of 85 and now employs almost 110 people. Over the same time period, the turnover increased from €4 million to almost €9 million. A few months ago, the Minister of State proceeded with a series of meetings with industrial players in the Principality within the context of an effort which aimed to promote the different existing sectors of activity and skill in the Monegasque job market.
