Theme 2 – He evolves to listen to others

We went to meet David Jakubowski, a locksmith boilermaking company manager in Thiers.

“Our business has evolved through customers. And thanks, always, listening. You can say that it is a profession that is out of date, if you have gone beyond.

A job, it evolves if you want to evolve. The modernity of your profession, it remains at the level of your heart and your guts. If it does not come out of there, your job will grow old, and you will grow old with it.

It is in the showroom of his company, true showcase of his know-how in the basin of Thiers that we met David jakubowski.

Since 1996 David Jakubowski runs the company founded in 1974 by his father.
Today, his wife and 2 sons accompany him daily in an activity that is constantly evolving from craft to industry.

“We were basically locksmiths,” says Jakubowski. Tubes and profiles were used; that was my dad’s basic job. And I learned boilermaking.

And over the years, at the request of my customers, in connection with my workers too, we embarked on the framing, in the cladding, piping, window installation, installation of barriers. Our business has evolved thanks to my clients.

And thanks always to listening. “

Listening is also that of employees trained in the business in the same company, they are now 45 to evolve in 3000m2.

From the design office to the training center for professionals to drive equipment or rescuers-rescuers.

“People want metal. A metal if it is maintained, it is made for life. With metal you can do what you want. If modernity advances, you can reshape it, you can mix it with wood, with composite, with glass, stainless steel, steel, paint … And today, through the suppliers with whom we works, we can diversify …

For example, our job site this summer in Vichy:

The group GALVA UNION has developed galvanizing in emergency. Then the powder coating, reassembly, delivery. “

In only 15 days, the teams of the GALVA UNION group were able to meet the requirements of the site. Thanks to their responsiveness, the quality of the work produced and the customer-supplier listening.

“What I like to see is excellence, a smile when the work is done well.

The engine of our company is to make copies as perfect as possible; and the person who runs the business and is going to push the barriers is the customer. “
