It was a day of celebration yesterday at TRA-C Industrie!
Here, French excellence and the pride of industrialists were celebrated in an ode to the sublimation of the perfect craft.
That of the boilermaker.
Bruno VOLAND is the driving force behind ‘Fier de Faire’.
A ‘Compagnon du Devoir’, his passion is to pass on his passion. Beyond the few words he speaks sparingly, he loves to showcase his talents and his team. As seen here, alongside François, he is honouring Olivier, TRA-C’s first employee, hired in May 2001.
Together with Aymeric de Monclin, they have built up the company, which now employs 374 skilled craftsmen. They serve French excellence in the defence, aerospace, energy and transport sectors, working with the biggest names in industry.
25 years of commitment, innovation, investment, international reach, learning and supporting the lives of those who have crossed their path. Happy anniversary!
In France 🇫🇷, right at the heart of the regions, these are teams whose pride and humility are evident in their broad smiles and their piercing, radiant eyes. Impressive.
Yes, Bruno, you can be proud of what you’ve created from your attic, with your wife by your side. Your ancestors from the shipyards and your children are proud of you, too.
And I, humbly, am proud to be your friend.
Thank you for this wonderful day spent by your side. We all hope to be able to follow your values and walk in your footsteps. The opening of the plenary session with those dancers and that finely crafted slam was just like you: simplicity, camaraderie and elegance.
Classy.
