A highlight for VOTAT

On September 23, our president, Philippe MARILLAUD, took the main stage at BIG25, an event organized by Bpifrance at the Accor Arena in Bercy.

It was a unique opportunity to address thousands of attendees who had also gathered for this major event. Philippe was able to share his experience as an entrepreneur and shed light on what makes our company so enduring and unique.

We received a great deal of positive feedback following his speech, proof that the authenticity and passion that have driven Philippe for so many years resonate far beyond our industry.

Because that is also what has allowed VOTAT to thrive since its founding in 1876. These strong values nourish every member of our extended family and are now spreading outward.

Among them are:

🔹 passing on unique expertise

🔹 a commitment to quality in each of our metal parts

🔹 and the pride of weaving our history into that of French industry.

A big thank you to Bpifrance for this wonderful opportunity to share the story of our family-owned business, which will celebrate its 150th anniversary next year.
