> The Group’s property development business grows in Brittany - 22 November 2007

 

On 31st October 2007, Palm Promotion acquired 100% of the capital of the FEDI company (Foncière et Développement Ingénierie) based in Lamballle (North Brittany).

FEDI specialises in setting up real estate deals, especially in the residential sector. Thanks to its innovative procedure for systematically finding buildable lands, FEDI is capable dotaining sale agreements and developing the projects up to the building permit stage. At this point, FEDI sells the projects to property developers, whose job is to market and implement them.

By acquiring FEDI, Palm Promotion has taken control of 20 housing programmes in Brittany, a province in which the Group intends to develop its business activity. To implement the deals set up by FEDI, Palm Promotion has opened a branch office in the town of Lamballe. This office will also be developing its own real estate programmes.

 

> Rabot Dutilleul: Go East! - 7 November 2007

The KBC GO East prices, delivered in Paris on October 25th, recognize French companies for their successful development in Eastern Europe. The Rabot Dutilleul group was awarded the Management Price for its companies RD bud, Pol-K and RD-CR.

It is the first time the KBC GO EAST prices, conjointly organized by the KBC bank and the daily economic newspaper La Tribune, have recognized independent French companies for successful development in Eastern Europe.

Selected with 40 other companies, including leading international firms such as Decathlon, Leroy Merlin, Lesaffre, Essilor and Bonduelle, the Rabot Dutilleul group won the Management Price.

With only ten French expatriates out of 100 executives and supervisors in Poland and Czech Republic, the management policy of favouring local collaborators and integration through long-term training programs seduced the jury. Also awarded was the agro industrial group Soufflet, for whom RD bud built 45 metre-tall silos.

Let us remember that 2007 marks the tenth anniversary of RDbud’s arrival in Central Europe, and this prize recognizes all the Rabot Dutilleul companies’ teams located there.
