Why did they choose the Béthune area?

 

There are many diverse reasons that encourage entrepreneurs to invest. It can on one hand be a new industrial establishment by a foreign investor like Flo spa or Lenze Drive Systems France, a simple commercial office building as envisioned by the American Betaseed, or even yet building extensions like at the Pruvost-Leroy site, for example.

 

 

Mr. Mistura - Flo Europe SAS Testimony:

“After a laborious research in several North European countries, the Italian plastic specialist FLO spa established their company at the end of 2003, on the Ruitz activity Park in the Béthune District: a site that features all the required conditions. The second unit produces single usage plastic dishes."
