Jean-Pierre Petit has been recruited to realise ambitious growth plans at Quadpack France. He joins as Business Unit Director, bringing with him extensive experience in international sales. Previously a director at a leading plastic film conglomerate, he has a solid multinational background underpinned by a degree in engineering and a Masters in chemistry.

“Jean-Pierre brings a valuable combination of technical and marketing expertise at an international level. His experience will serve him well in expanding our business in France. We are pleased to welcome him on board,” says Philippe Lenglart, Director and Co-Founder of Quadpack.

“I am delighted to join Quadpack France and look forward to working with the team in taking the French operation to the next level,” says Jean-Pierre. “This quality-oriented team has a unique blend of talent, culture and experience that is the key to its success. By sharing its knowledge, skills and resources with the rest of the Quadpack group, together we can set a benchmark in the industry.”

Based on analysis of market opportunities in the region, Quadpack France aims to treble its turnover by the end of 2013. In preparation for this growth, the French business unit moved to new headquarters in Chartres in March. The new office boasts state-of-the-art facilities including a fully-equipped package test laboratory and ready access to warehousing facilities.
