But let’s leave the final word to the users

“We have been working with Synthetis for many years and we are still happy to continue doing so… Synthetis listens to our problems and needs, which is an essential quality in the industrial sector. They have listened at length to the wishes of the players in the field, which we had not always taken into account when drawing up the specifications. Taking into account all these details, the construction of the initial project, as well as the vision of future steps were guided by the experience of Synthetis. This listening was the price we had to pay to guarantee an adapted and highly efficient solution. “
