Exploring Business Opportunities and Cultural Exchange

At the beginning of July, a delegation from the Club d’affaires Franco-Allemand du Bade-Wurtemberg e.V. visited the headquarters in Wendlingen. The association offers its members (companies from various industries) a platform for networking and exchanging experiences. It plays an important role in strengthening Franco-German economic relations and promoting intercultural exchange.

In addition to the tour of the production facility in Köngen, the participants also traveled to the CF Group headquarters in Wendlingen. After the guided tour from CEO Cedrik Mayer-Klenk in the presence of the Consul General of France Gaël de Maisonneuve, there was a concluding keynote speech and a joint discussion and Q&A session. The Club d’affaires Franco-Allemand du Bade-Wurtemberg e.V. was happy and thankful for this very interesting and entertaining insight.

Congratulations to all who contributed to the success of this visit.
