  • The VIP Room Taba (in the neighborhood Adawlato of Lomé) in Togo already implemented the system as a trial in a Leisure & Gaming Space in 2013.

To facilitate the implementation of the project, missions and working sessions under the supervision of Jérôme BIENSAN, Technical Director and R&D Project Manager of SATALL Industries, will regularly take place in the aforementioned countries. Project chiefs of the subsidiaries will also be welcomed at the headquarters of SATALL Industries, in Lomé, Togo, to undergo special trainings to better understand the features of the project and what is at stake.

The 2nd edition of ISAFE (International Security and Fire Fighting Exhibition) took place from the 9th till the 12th of April 2015 in the Office of Fairs & Exhibitions of Casablanca (OFEC), Morocco.

Thus, Grupo Pefaco sponsored the attendance of the chiefs of fire brigades of Benin, Burkina Faso, Togo and Niger, at ISAFE MOROCCO 2015.

Through this action, the founders of Grupo Pefaco, Francis PEREZ and Olivier CAURO, fulfill their wish to actively support the de­velopment of the communities in which it operates.

Lydia Ludic employees set an exemplary model

18/03/2014 | Comments: 1 | Posted by: Grupo Pefaco | In: Noticias Grupo Pefaco

On March 5th, Lydia Ludic agents went into action for a blood donation. Lydia Ludic has been consecrated with a remarkable example: Francis Perez, the President of Grupo Pefaco, the parent company of Lydia Ludic, upon its founding in 1995, was determined about the social aspects of the company.

In an interview granted to an online African newspaper, Afriquinfos, he conveys his commitment: “We transmit our work ethic and moral values to our subsidiaries, with the aim of taking part in the development of local communities, through various social, environmental and cultural projects”. Based on this ground it is not surprising to see the employees of the company follow their President’s example and contribute to the company’s dedication.

Early March, the subsidiary Lydia Ludic Burkina Faso sponsored a blood drive – organized by the association SOS Sang – in Ouagadougou, and all naturally the majority of the employees donated their blood on this day.

An exemplary role model set by company managers plays an important part in the employees’ mentality. Such spirit and actions have a strong impact on a company’s external and internal environment, as Grupo Pefaco has proven over time. To see more photos of the blood drive, click here.
