Giannoni SA France, the French company that designs and manufactures stainless steel thermal exchangers for gas boilers. At present, Giannoni France employs 430 staff, divided between its sites in Morlaix and Lannion. The company, which conducts 95 per cent of its business abroad, says that it has been able to keep its production activities in France as innovation has allowed it to reduce workforce costs.
