and rewarded its employee for their work. The ceremony started in the company headquarters with speeches by Friedrich Santner, one of the founders, and the France General Manager of Anton Paar, Loïc Thomas. Later, the whole group headed to the centre of Paris to celebrate the anniversary on a ship cruising along the Seine. The event ended with the gala dinner near the Eiffel Tower, accompanied by live entertainment.

The French subsidiary was established in 2001, when Pascal Gilloen and his partner Friedrich Santner founded Anton Paar France and Anton Paar Benelux together. Located in Les Ulis (a suburb of Paris), the enterprise employed only three people at first, but six ears later it moved to a new 700 m² building that included a workshop for customer service and a laboratory. Finally, in 2018 the 47 employees moved into the new 1,400 m2 building. “Our new location is very modern, well suited for Anton Paar. We are very proud of it,” commented Katia Berkane, Marketing and Sales Administrator Manager at Anton Paar France.
