Senior members of the French government have visited vehicle mount manufacturing specialist Klubb Group, where they officially launched the country’s Covid-19 export recovery plan, during a round-table discussion in the factory.

Minister for the Economy Bruno Le Maire, along with Franck Riester, who heads up Foreign Trade and Alain Griset, Delegate to the Minister of the Economy, chose Klubb’s factory in Ferrières-en-Brieas, for the meeting in recognition of the company’s successful export strategy.

The health crisis represents a violent obstacle to our development in this sector.”
