With
a rapid increase in population in the "Texas
of Europe" in the sixties, and the geographical
situation at the heart of a dense and rich market,
the needs and sub-products (scoria,…) of
the heavy industry created optimum conditions
for the development of a significant branch of
industry: the BTP, the production of building
materials, and finally the manufacturing of domestic
equipment, boiler (VIESSMANN), and quilt (DODO),
constitute together the first employer of the
Lorraine region. |
 |
|
|
 |
The sector relies on its
heavy industries: cement works, tile manufacturing, plaster,
glass, and glass wool with European leaders (HOLDERBANK,
ITALCIMENTE, Heidelberger-zement, PILKINGTON, URALITA,
CEDEC, SCHOTT GLASWERKE…). |
| |
|
|
It also includes company leaders in
equipment and intermediary products like GRETSCH UNITAS
(FERCO, the first hardware manufacturer of France), DEPALOR
(particle boards), WELLE (furniture manufacturing). |
| |
|
|
Finally, it includes many SMBs in the
manufacturing of agglomerate (KRONIMUS, LUXEMBOURG CEMENTS,
KLEIN, BETOMAX, SEAC) terra cotta (SARREGUEMINES CONSTRUCTION). |
| |
|
|
In addition, tableware is represented
as well with crystal, earthenware crockery, including
curtain manufacturing, |
| |
|
|
Training is also well developed in this
sector, assisting heavy plant drivers, builders and engineers.
The interprofessional College of Montigny-lès-Metz,
will soon double its capacity, the AFPA, trains all careers,
the center of Faulquemont deals with heavy plant drivers,
and the technical school of Talange is interested in heating
engineers,… |
| |
|
|
The National Engineers School of Metz
is recognized for its technicality, its interest for new
technologies (domotic), and its collaborations with foreign
schools (Kaiserlautern in Germany). |
| |
|
|
Finally, the testing institute of the
CTICM Maizières-lès-Metz, designed initially
to test fire resistance of industrial frames, has several
furnaces today and tests practically all-building materials. |
