Alstom takes part in "Industry Week"

Alstom's industrial presence in France consists of some 20 sites spread throughout the country, employing 18,000 people. These sites produce for both the national and export markets. Each has specific capabilities, expertise and experience. All contribute to Alstom's unique range of products and services in the Energy and Transport markets.

The opening of a new site in Saint Nazaire in 2014 specialising in offshore wind turbines reflects the Group's industrial impetus in France.

France's Semaine de l'Industrie (Industry Week) is an opportunity for Alstom to present its business lines and demonstrate their diversity, along with the professional prospects they offer.
