LACROIX’s last Investor Day was held in May 2023 at the Symbiose plant, inaugurated in September 2022. It was an opportunity for thirty of our investors and shareholders to (re)visit Electronics activity newest production site.
The day’s activities ranged from the discovery of the plant operations to discussions with Vincent Bedouin, LACROIX CEO, about the Group ambitions in a market that offers a wide range of opportunies. |
The Electronics activity, the Group’s industrial backbone, positions LACROIX as a major player in the design and manufacture of embedded electronic systems and industrial IoT.
Ranked in the world’s Top 50 EMS (Electronic Manufacturing Services), LACROIX designs, industrializes and produces electronics for the automotive, industrial, home and building, avionics and defense, and healthcare markets.
