It supplies a key component for energy-efficient window and façade solutions,” said Francis. “The first impression I got from the team, which is very customer-centric and truly dedicated, is impressive. I have managed many businesses at Saint-Gobain, but Swisspacer is one of a kind. I look forward to continuing on the outstanding course set by Victoria.”
