The Calcia construction site is making great strides
In 2024, no less than 94 events were organized, reflecting the diversity and commitment of the teams. Several left their mark, starting with the day of solidarity for the benefit of the O'monde des Extra-ordinaires association, which made it possible to hand over a check for €900 to support little Léna, after 2,000 km traveled by bike, a collective feat. The end-of-year meal, which recorded a record participation, testifies to the spirit of conviviality which animates the association.
The personalities present praised the dynamism of the association. Olivier Fouillet highlighted the spirit of conviviality and the positive energy which characterize the association's actions. A notable moment of this meeting was the presentation by Bruno Manivet of a short film illustrating the progress of the construction site of the new factory. This large-scale project captivated the attention of the participants, strengthening the links between the association and local stakeholders.
After taking stock of last year, the general assembly concluded on a festive note around a glass of friendship, before looking ahead to new challenges for 2025. The cement manufacturers of Poitou demonstrate that dynamism, solidarity and conviviality are the pillars of the success of an association.
