Paris, February 16, 2012 - Rick is the world's leading provider of integrated technology solutions and is committed to providing high-performance solutions and services for all sectors of the industry using soft materials (textiles, leather, industrial fabrics and composite materials). It is now an honor to announce that Laurent Alt has been appointed as the new director of the software R & D department.

overcome with effort

The R & D department has 220 employees, 200 of whom work in France.

The company spends a lot of money on R & D every year: in the past four years, it invested 68 million 800 thousand euros, even though it was affected by the economic crisis, in 2011, we invested 18 million 200 thousand euros (8.9% of annual income).

"In 2005, we made important decisions after careful consideration, that is, the company's research and development and production remain in France. This decision helps to cope with the three challenges faced at that time: competition with low-cost products produced by international competitors and Asian competitors who have moved to China; strengthening competitiveness and increasing profits.

This decision also enabled Rick to protect his industry.

Property right

Daniel Harari, chief executive of Rick, said, "Laurent Alt has joined the management team of the software development team, which is reflected in the visionary investment policy of Rick over the past seven years.

Laurent is extraordinary.

In addition to management capabilities, his understanding of complex information system projects and the understanding of new technologies, together with his experience in CAD and PLM, will help us further advance technological progress.

"I am delighted to be able to join Rick at this important moment in the development of Rick.

Few companies have the courage to increase R & D investment in such a difficult period.

Laurent Alt said.

"My previous experience has made me ready for this new challenge, and I will work to help Rick to give full play to the advantages of my own business experience and make use of all the latest technology to reshape industry rules."

Innovation, human capital and close contact with customers still play an important role in promoting Rick's leadership.

Maintaining stable R & D investment and strengthening sales and marketing team is the key to speed up the implementation of the company's all-round pformation plan.
