2010 distributors' Conference took place in Paris on 6th and 7th May. The agenda included: introduction of new products; distributors' strategy; technical presentations; 2011 development projects; visits to recent and current Paris projects. About 30 of our distributors participated in a spirit of discovery, openness and conviviality. Thank you all and we look forward to seeing you next year!

Guard Industrie has recently signed a partnership with the Evonik-Degussa, one of the world's leading chemical companies. This partnership has led to the development and co-branding of high performance water repellent and anti corrosion products.

Since its creation, Guard Industrie has put emphasis and priority on sustainable development and research for environment-friendly products. In May, our company invested further in its ecological commitment by appointing Fabien FIDEL as having the responsibility for sustainable development. A key person to our ecological commitment, Fabien FIDEL will analyse products' life cycle and carry out environmental product declarations. He is also briefed to get the European Ecolabel for our products and the requisite ISO 14001 norm.
