• Philippe Ecran, Sitour, CEO, President of ADPAVA, Association of the Val d’Argent Business Park.

"Finding an area of 1, 3 hectares only 15 minutes away from La Defense has been a great chance for my company and my staff, who live mostly in the vicinity and can, thus, enjoy an excellent quality of life. Even my customers acknowledge the provincial charm of this place, only a few minutes from Paris. What I also appreciate is how easy it is for me to work with local political and economic actors for the development of the business park on which my company is located. "

• Jean-Marie Simon, Atos Origin, Worldwide Human Resources Director.

"The Atos Origin multinational employs 50 000 persons worldwide. We have chosen to headquarter in the River Ouest building in Bezons. We wanted to offer the best working conditions for our employees. The building is bright, modern and is located on the Seine river, in a quiet and privileged setting. The environmental quality of the building also meets our goal of reducing CO2 output. "

• Nathalie Court, Maisons-Repas-Services, Manager

"I chose to install my home care assistance business in Argenteuil in April 2009. The ideal location, but also the economic vitality of the Basin have been decisive factors for me. My business generates jobs that cannot be relocated. In 7 years of activity, I saw how the area developed and transformed itself, allowing my business to create nearly 130 jobs. "

• Carole Gratzmüller, ETNA Industrie, CEO

"When the company was implemented in Argenteuil in 1942, the dynamism of the area implied that all of our subcontractors were installed close by. Today, not only is this proximity still a key feature of our work, but more importantly, we are located only 30 minutes away from Roissy International Airport and 15 minutes from central Paris. The Mechatronics project fostered by the urban community, also offers us new and promising perspectives in terms of employment. "

• Jean-Michel Régis, Antonutti Delmas, CEO

"The geography of the area is ideal for my transportation activity. Argenteuil-Bezons is located on a strategic axis that connects the Val-d'Oise to Hauts-de-Seine and Yvelines, while being only fifteen minutes away from La Défense and a few kilometres from Paris. My employees have also come to appreciate the quality of life offered here. They almost all chose to settle in Argenteuil-Bezons and acknowledged that this decision has improved the balance between their professional and personal life. "
