TO ATTRACT YOUNG TALENT TO THE WORLD OF INDUSTRY, GROUPE SEB GOLD SPONSOR OF THE WORLDSKILLS LYON 2024 COMPETITION

Worldskills Lyon 2024

From September 11 to 14, 2024, Groupe SEB is a partner of the 47th WorldSkills World Skills Competition being held in Lyon at the EUREXPO park. 

As Gold Sponsor, the TEFAL brand will also be equipping the young competitors with a wide range of products and cookware, a guarantee of quality and robustness to accompany the young talents during training and competition...and perhaps victory!

Proud of its 165-year history in France, the Group is committed to promoting French-style industrial excellence among young talent. With 44 industrial sites around the world, including 14 in France, Groupe SEB is a proud representative of “local manufacturing”, and a proud ambassador of French industry and know-how. Born in Burgundy in 1857, Groupe SEB designs, manufactures and markets products to make life easier and more pleasant for consumers all over the world.

This mission is made possible by the men and women working in the Group's centres of expertise and research and development centers close to its factories.

We're very pleased to sponsor the WorldSkills Lyon 2024 Competition, an incredible event that brings together young talent around a wide range of professions, including those in industry. As an industry player with long and proud roots in France, I can only encourage the younger generation to choose this sector, which represents a wide range of professions: production, purchasing, procurement, logistics, product development... a formidable playground for imagining, designing and producing tomorrow's innovations. 
It is crucial that today's educational programs prepare our young people for tomorrow's professions!
