A team at your service

“Everyone would benefit from having a Batiste on their team! ”

In charge of production planning and all the logistics behind the dispatch of customer orders, Batiste works hard every day to meet deadlines as closely as possible. A pivotal position within the company, he is the link between the sales department and the workshop.

His main qualities at work are responsiveness, flexibility and organizational skills. Unflappable under pressure and in a constant, jovial mood, he always finds solutions to the unexpected, while retaining his natural helpfulness.

An accomplished musician and skateboarder, his legendary sociability and camaraderie make him a valuable addition to our department. A true kind-hearted person always ready to help out, he’s a unifying force who always has a good plan to share or a great weekend to tell. Everyone would benefit from having a Batiste on their team!

“Anthony is always ready to help his fellow man, and with a smile!”

A logistics pro for over 15 years, Anthony plays an active role in the smooth preparation and dispatch of orders, ensuring that you receive your products as quickly and in the best possible condition. The pallet holds no secrets for him, and he handles it with an infectious joie de vivre.

Always smiling, Anthony appreciates ARTECK’s friendly, family atmosphere. A keen sportsman, he is enthusiastic and persevering. As a matter of fact, he recently spent almost an hour in the skip looking for a remote control he’d dropped along with a pallet… only to find that it had fallen right next to it, phew. But that just goes to show you can always count on him.

“What Guillaume likes: the bond with his colleagues”.

As a production operator, Guillaume works on all acoustic absorbers. Always there for others, always ready to lend a hand, he appreciates the warm atmosphere of the workshop and of ARTECK.

Before that, he worked in construction and in the production of composite materials. The human scale of the ARTECK production team enables him to be close to his colleagues, creating an atmosphere of mutual support. Ideal for someone who likes to spend time with family, friends and travelers.

“Jérémy loves his job

Jérémy manages the manufacture and packaging of acoustic solutions with care and good humor. His experience and talent enable him to always find the right solution. After more than 15 years’ experience in the industry, he joined ARTECK where he really appreciates the family atmosphere.

This welcoming environment allows him to express his talents as a humorist on a daily basis! And he doesn’t hesitate to play boules on the company premises! A good handyman and very attached to his family, he truly reflects the image of the team and the company.

“He’s always looking to innovate”

Mickaël has been working with CNC – Computer Numerical Control – for almost 20 years, and for some years now for ARTECK, manufacturing components for acoustic solutions. Before that, he worked on car stickers. Suffice to say, he knows his stuff. And being a perfectionist, he leaves nothing to chance. What’s more, he likes to innovate, so he’s always looking for ways to improve. We’re in the same business, so it’s great to work together.

Like everyone else here, he really appreciates the friendly atmosphere. We do high-quality work in a good atmosphere. The latest anecdote: on a windy day, he went out with a large PET acoustic plate in his hand, which almost blew away! If you want to please him, you can also talk about fishing or his family.

“Thikhet is as kind as she is perfectionist.”

Thikhet is one of the talented seamstresses who give life to your acoustic absorbers, which have a fabric covering – always responsible – sewn on site, in our Miribel workshop. A perfectionist, she makes a point of rendering perfectly executed products, and as we all know, sewing is a high-precision craft.

In addition to her professionalism, I’d like to underline Thikhet’s profound kindness. In addition to the pleasant workshop atmosphere, she enjoys gardening and spending time with her family.

“He’s as much a master of machines as he is of humor and understatement!

Clément works on all the machines in the workshop, and as his job title suggests, he’s involved in every stage of production: programming, cutting, assembling, packing and shipping products.

He joined his former colleague Maxime, our workshop manager, after having been a production operator in the composites sector. We arrived at the same time, and like me, he appreciates the friendly, caring atmosphere.

In addition to his expertise, he’s also very funny. He’s very spontaneous and never stops joking, which adds to the good atmosphere.
A motor sport enthusiast – he trained as a mechanic – he has been competing in rallies for over 10 years and repairs his own cars.

“He’s a team leader”.

Maxime is a workshop manager. On a daily basis, he dispatches orders, manages his team and the workshop.

Calm and collected, it’s clear that Maxime loves his job, the products he makes, and looking after his colleagues to give his best. Already experienced as a team leader in a production company, at ease in his role as leader, he also knows how to react quickly to our requests, and therefore those of our customers of course. On the personal side, like me, he’s a big fan of the cinema, and like many others here he’s a car fan.

“Always with a smile on her face, full of optimism and goodwill.”

Irmina, or “Mina” as everyone in the office likes to call her, is one of ARTECK’s latest recruits.
It didn’t take her long to integrate perfectly into the team.
You’d have to be pretty picky not to get on with Mina: always with a smile on her face, full of optimism and goodwill.

These are essential qualities for her job as a sales assistant, and a trilingual one at that – because yes, Mina was also recruited for this: her perfect command of languages, to help ARTECK develop internationally.
Her ability to listen and her sense of customer needs make her an invaluable addition to our sales department, which is delighted to count her among its ranks.

Her colorful outfits reflect her personality perfectly, and she blends in wonderfully with the various elements that make up our showroom.
That’s probably why she’s so good at advising you…

“Florent loves to create. He has fun with the potential of acoustics.

Florent observes and creates. At Arteck since 2012, he imagines products, designs them, develops them, finds technical solutions and launches prototypes. With a background in bespoke office furniture design, this soccer fan has found his playground in acoustics. Here, he can express his great creativity.

Always full of ideas, he has an innovative spirit that fits in well with the house spirit, always ready to try, experiment and design new things. The use of PET ecological fiber allows him to have fun with all the cutting and assembly possibilities. What’s more, this material lends itself particularly well to made-to-measure, giving Florent the opportunity to design original creations and take on technical and aesthetic challenges.

As for office life, although he’s more reserved than I am, we share plenty of convivial moments on a daily basis. And as he’s an excellent foosball player, I had to find the cornhole game to try and beat him!

“Nicolas is like a Ferrero Rocher® that’s hard on the outside and soft on the inside.

Exuberant/Extraverted and generous, Nicolas advises customers and looks after his sales colleagues from his position as a sedentary salesman. He joined Arteck in 2016 for its family spirit and innovative drive. After several years in large automotive structures, he appreciates being part of a human-sized structure and being in direct contact with all facets of the company.

A fan of new technologies, he is always up to date with the latest innovations. At Arteck, he takes great pleasure in sharing with me his thoughts on new products, right up to following the prototypes as they leave the workshop.

A team player, Nicolas brings people together with his humor and enthusiasm. He has introduced us all to Cornhole®, a game he imported from the United States, so don’t hesitate to come and challenge him. With his heart on his sleeve, he loves to be of service. His colleagues and customers know they can count on him. Curious and aware of everything that’s going on in the company and in the sector, he’s a pillar of the team.

“Henri is very open, he listens to everyone around him”.

Henri has been a salesman at Arteck since 2015, in charge of the South region. He already had a feel for noise reduction and the family business through his many years of experience in personal protective equipment (PPE) and, more specifically, hearing protection. Building on this experience, he continues to promote acoustic comfort to dealers, acoustic design offices and architects.

A force for proposals, he’s determined and goes all the way, always in a good mood. For example, he knows how to put forward his arguments when a product is being developed. He’s a bon vivant, jovial and open, who listens to his customers and others.

And while he loves a good joke, he’s also very good at understanding and analyzing customer needs and integrating regulatory guidelines. At ease in any situation, he always has the right word. A warm-hearted person, he loves what’s closest to him: his home, nature, picnics and aperitifs!

Description

“Jean-Daniel gets the best for our customers”.

Jean-Daniel founded Arteck with Daniel, his brother-in-law, in 2006 (they’re my uncle and father respectively). So he’s been there from the start, one of the two founding pillars. He was already in the game, having set up an office furniture company with his own father. So he has a strong sense of family, as does everyone here. Today, he’s in charge of the purchasing department, managing suppliers, negotiating prices and setting up partnerships. I’ve been working with him since I joined the company.

He’s a hard worker who likes everything to be perfect. He has done a lot to optimize purchasing. A connoisseur of fine wines, Jean-Daniel combines firmness with conviviality. As good a manager as he is a skilled negotiator, he knows how to find the winning compromises between suppliers, staff needs and customer expectations, in order to find the best prices. All with a good dose of humor, always appreciated.

“He likes to sell simple, beautiful things.

Joktan took over as Arteck’s sales manager at the beginning of 2019. He’s a hard worker who has successfully worked in a number of positions: sales assistant, orders and deliveries, telemarketing, sales… So he knows your needs and our products very well.

What excites him? Innovations to improve acoustics and aesthetics, design. In a nod to his love of beautiful cars, he was a driving force behind the development of our Art’coustik collection. As for his personality, Joktan is a bon vivant, which is reflected in his love of relationships with our customers, and I think it’s fair to say that the pleasure is shared.

“Customers appreciate Wilfried for his precise and rigorous diagnostics”.

Wilfried puts his taste for rigor at the service of Arteck’s design office. He has been with the company since its inception, and knows the sector and its products inside out, having sold them in the first place. He then went on to develop his skills in diagnostics, which fits in perfectly with his hyper-square personality.

On a day-to-day basis, he advises customers on the surface area of acoustic elements required and carries out in-depth acoustic studies on site. He also liaises with the inspection bodies that test our products. Honest and straightforward, he is appreciated for his rigorous, highly precise diagnoses. He developed his skills in the family carpentry business where he was trained by his father.

Always close to his family, he also inherited his love of nature and the land. A bon vivant, his wholehearted side is reflected in this aspect of his life: I’d say he’s half trapper, half cowboy. In any case, he’s definitely family and gastronomy. If you want to please him, offer him a fondue in a chalet!

“Warwick is innovative and daring”.

Warwick is responsible for operations, which means he’s in charge of production planning, machine selection, assembly and packaging, right through to over-packaging. We really work as a team, our roles complementing each other: I buy what he needs for production, I look for the right materials while he thinks about technical requirements. He has 1,000 ideas a minute, he dares to think outside the box, and the more original, different and innovative it is, the more he likes it.

For as long as I can remember, my nephew has been tinkering with materials. At the age of 10, he was laying panelling! He spent his summers dabbling in the construction and joinery trades, accompanying me to trade shows, browsing the competition and tinkering with his ideas to make new things. He joined the family business as soon as he turned 18. He’s both highly technical and pragmatic, with a good dose of creativity, all mixed with a team spirit that never fails when it comes to getting together for a good meal or a party.
