Forel is pleased to announce the opening of their new subsidiary, Forel North Europe, located in Mönchengladbach, Germany.

Operational since February 1st, this branch represents a significant step in our expansion strategy within the European market.

The new team will be led by Stéphane Soudais, a professional with over 20 years of experience in the flat glass industry. Stéphane brings extensive expertise and a proactive approach to implementing new production processes and team development.

As a key reference point for the Central European and Scandinavian regions, Forel North Europe is committed to actively supporting customers in growing their businesses while strengthening the Forel brand presence in this highly competitive market.

The strategic location in Mönchengladbach, near Düsseldorf, was chosen for its easily accessible central location.

“The opening of Forel North Europe marks a crucial moment for our company,” said Stéphane Soudais, Branch Manager. “Germany and its neighbouring countries represent a very important market for us, and the presence of a subsidiary in the area will allow us to be even closer to our customers, fully understand their needs, and offer them customized solutions. I am convinced that this new venture will bring great opportunities for growth and enhancement for the Forel brand and its partners.”

Forel is excited about this new challenge and remains committed to providing the highest quality products and services to their customers in Europe.
