Despite tensions in the supply of certain electronic components, the agility of our teams and our industrial tools have enabled us to meet the exponential demand of the electromobility market.

Based on this good momentum and favorable outlook, we confirm our 2022 revenue target of more than €100 million and our financial objectives for 2027 ».
