Jeannelle added, “Sputnik Engineering is an international, mid-sized business whose high-tech products contribute to the protection of our environment, something which is also important to me personally. For me, continuing the French subsidiary’s expansion represents an exciting challenge.”

Currently, Sputnik Engineering has offices in Switzerland, Spain, Germany, Italy and France.
