Outlook
Apart from the
nuclear reactor
dismantling
operation
at Chinon A3…
Sophiane’s companies will be
seeking to keep their positions
on the nuclear thermal
insulation market, while
improving profitability.
Achieving this aim will require
the acquisition, under
economically healthy conditions,
of new decommissioned nuclear
installation dismantling
business, which requires in turn
that the Group’s companies
master all the techniques
involved and work directly with
the client, with no intermediary.
In order to offer the full range
of services, G+H MONTAGE and
Wanner Industrie will be
developing the concept of global
service, by growing stronger in
areas related to their basic
technical expertise of thermal
lagging and scaffolding.
