Banque Van Breda – Inspiring interview with Philippe Foucart

27 Jan 23News, Press, Technord adventure

Read what our CEO, Philippe Foucart, has to say in Banque Van Breda ‘s “En Clair” magazine about business transfers.

Technord, the company at the heart of the Foucart family history

At the end of the 80s, Michel Foucart became Technord’s salaried Director.

He wanted one of his 4 children to take over his business at the end of his career.

Although the succession was uncertain, it was finally 2 of his children, Philippe Foucart and Bénédicte Foucart, who joined him in this indescribable adventure.

In 2010, after more than 40 years in the business, Michel Foucart handed over the reins to his two children: Phillipe became CEO and Bénédicte joined Technord’s strategic management team.

Technord handed down from father to son

In this article, on pages 3 and 4, you’ll find Philippe Foucart’s account of this family succession. He also explains how this transmission took place and how they managed it.

The most important thing in a family transmission is to trust each other and to be able to dialogue in a specific way “. – Philippe Foucart
