Gerflor supports the entire craft industry

The European finals of the EuroSkills* competition took place from 22 to 26 September 2021 in Graz (Austria) with the French trades team.

The competition brought together 48 trades divided into 6 categories: Creative Arts and Fashion, Automotive and Machinery, Construction, Communication and Digital, Manufacturing and Engineering Technology, Services

For 3 days, 319 competitors from 20 European countries competed in technical events combining precision, efficiency and speed of execution, in real production situations, before a jury of professionals.

Jessy DUMAS BOUGAIN, a former student of Gerflor's Flooring Training Centre in Tarare, came second on the podium just behind Russia and ahead of Switzerland by just a few points.
A well-deserved silver medal after the qualifying gold medal of the "Olympiades nationales des métiers" won in Caen in 2018.
Congratulations to Jessy for her pugnacity and her hard work. Congratulations also to his Gerflor trainers: Didier Besson and Sebastien Montagne.

Today Jessy is an employee of the Aubonnet company and he represents the excellence of the French Gerflor training.
