“With the decisions I just announced, this economic concern will obviously increase “Emmanuel Macron’s words were serious on March 12, 2020, when drastic measures were announced to fight against Covid-19. A pandemic that took advantage, willy-nilly, to the Corrèze company UVGERMI, founded almost 20 years ago by André Bordas.
In Saint-Viance, a year after these words, we are not boasting. If we concede that economically speaking, this epidemic allowed the sale of many air purifiers – “whose destructive quality of viruses is recognized by the largest laboratories” underlines its director – it was more “a chance.” “Ten years ago” says André Bordas, “We made very few devices during the H1N1 epidemic. But, _we worked on our technology long before the appearance of this virus._“ This propelled the company located near Brive forward.
The next two years fraught with uncertainty
However, this part of its activity should not mask a whole section of UVGERMI which is suffering from the health crisis, as André Bordas reminds us. “We also work in the field of _the swimming pool by equipping 1,500 pools_, working for drinking water, wastewater and food industries. Many of these activities do not invest “ underlines the Corrèze leader passionate about rugby.
“There will be less investment, so we will have to be careful over the next two years”
Nevertheless, the Corrèze company is scratching its head to invest in new markets. “We have developed a device that allows the water to be reprocessed in all the greenhouses, while making the circular economy. We are the only ones in Europe to develop this technology“specifies André Bordas. Equipment is sold in England, in Germany, but also in the United Arab Emirates.”We are preparing for the post-Covid period “. André Bordas says he is serene, ready to transform the post-crisis essay.
