Opteven Opens a New Chapter with the Launch of Our Puy-en-Velay Site
As the European leader in mechanical breakdown warranty and a key player in the assistance sector in France, we are proud to continue growing and diversifying by announcing the opening of our new site in Puy-en-Velay, a flagship project for 2024.
Our success is built on a clear strategy: to be present wherever our customers need us. As the only operator established in the five major European markets, with subsidiaries in France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy, we now operate in nine countries. This geographic footprint enables us to provide local and high-quality service on a European scale.
We have always been committed to local engagement, and the opening of our Puy-en-Velay site is further proof of this commitment. We chose to establish this new site to diversify our employment bases and enrich the diversity of our teams. Located just two hours by road from our headquarters in Villeurbanne, this site is strategically positioned to facilitate the setup and training of our teams.
This new site represents one of the most important projects for Opteven in 2024. With 650 m² of office space, we will create 100 new jobs, further strengthening our presence and commitment to the region. This project also benefits from regional support, which covers part of the training costs, enabling us to build a skilled and motivated team.
Starting in May-June 2024, an initial team of 20 assistance coordinators will be in place, with a target of 40 employees by the end of the year. We aim to be fully operational with 100 employees by summer 2025. This will be the largest service company installation in the Puy-en-Velay area.
The roles we are offering in Puy-en-Velay are at the heart of our mission: to help and support our customers in their times of need. The positions of assistance coordinators are meaningful, exciting roles focused on personal service and care.
The establishment of our new site in Puy-en-Velay marks a major milestone in our development. As a leading local economic player, we are determined to contribute to the region’s dynamism and attractiveness while continuing to offer the best possible service to our customers.
