The Muretain Business Club Visits SNDC

They were thus able to find out more about SNDC (a new air conditioning specialist), which has been based in Labarthe since 1986. They specialise in automotive HVAC systems for a range of sectors and employ 44 people. Known around the world, some of their biggest customers include Manitou and Eurocopter, a subsidiary of EADS.

On a visit by business leaders, accompanied by the local mayor, Bernard Bérail, and Alain Sottil, mayor of Eaunes, attendees were met with a warm welcome and received much information. With an attentive ear, they received a passionate and fascinating presentation by Jean-Marc Guittard, the new CEO, under the benevolent gaze of Denis Pouchain, his predecessor and lifelong companion. Referring to the good health of the company, he summarised it in three key words responsiveness”, “flexibility” and “service”. The factory tour ended on a cultural note. Denis Pouchain offered his guests a very beautiful book relating the works and the short life of Renée Aspe (1922-1969), the Toulouse painter who took up residence in Labarthe-sur-Lèze. The satisfied group ended their journey at the Centaure restaurant, another member of the Club, for their quarterly Speed ​​Business meal.
