Co-operation with a major<br />
European partner has also made<br />
it possible to progress with<br />
and almost complete the first<br />
facilities with active noise<br />
insulation, based on the<br />

(neutralisation by phase<br />
opposition).<br />
In 1999, these technical<br />
developments will strengthen<br />
<strong>Sophiane</strong>’s strategic orientation<br />
in the field of industrial noise<br />
control, serving to consolidate<br />
its position on the European<br />
market, with the objective<br />
of becoming its leader in the<br />
short term, and of extending<br />
its business into Central and<br />
Eastern Europe.<br />
