SIOEN welcomes Intersafe Executive Team

28 October 2013

The Intersafe Group Executive Team, led by CEO Yves Pétin, is constantly enhancing and expanding its knowledge and experience in the area of safety – not only in general terms but also in relation to its suppliers. On Thursday 17 October SIOEN extended a warm welcome to the Intersafe Executive Team at its head office in Ardooie, Belgium. In addition to the extensive showroom, this site also houses a major part of SIOEN’s R&D activities, including 4 laboratories and key test equipment.
