Norbert Patouillard | English | French |
Starting from technical sales in a small French territory I have improved my know-how of the European Chemical market during my various experiences with Degussa and Honeywell. I had the chance to work in several field of industries close to the Chemical market as formulation industries (paint & coatings, pharma, plastics, cosmetics..etc) and Synthesis Industries (Pharma, Agro, Cosmetics, Biodiesel..etc). My various positions led me to work in an multi-national context in different countries, including some over-sees approaches. Negotiating in different languages is now part of my daily job in the wide Chemical world. |
