Whill
Business Case
#succursale
Japanese company expands into France from its Dijon branch
Founded in May 2012, Whill defines its mission as creating fun and innovative mobility for all. Drawing inspiration from those with reduced mobility, the company provides suitable and well-designed personal solutions to change their users’ lives.
The Japanese company wanted a French branch for easy distribution of its “fun and innovative” wheelchairs for all.
Over the next years, this first facility will ramp up with increased market share and the growth of a young and sports-enthusiastic team.
Employment impact at 3 years
Guillaume Legendre has a small team that’s growing monthly. It could reach at least 10 employees on the site in 3 years
Location
Whill chose the Capnord Zone d’Activités to meet its needs.
