A remarkable IPO

Increased production capacity
The future Champagnier site”with a total area of 14,300 square meters, stressesthe company’s press release, will be the largest in Europe”, with a production capacity of”180 stations per year, triple the current production”. In addition to the workshops, the site will have 4,300 square meters of offices and”will be associated with a test area”.
It represents more than 15 million euros of investment. Its installation in Champagnier is supported and assisted by Grenoble-Alpes-Métropole and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region. The new complex”which will be operational at the end of 2022/beginning of 2023, will create more than 150 direct and indirect jobs by 2025″according to HRS, which had 34 employees at the end of 2020.
