> Rabot Dutilleul: Go East! - 7 November 2007

The KBC GO East prices, delivered in Paris on October 25^th, 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.
