Executive Search for Industry

Recruiting leaders who truly understand your industry.

Antal France – La Charme supports mid-sized companies, industrial groups, equipment manufacturers, and international businesses in their recruitment of executives and strategic managers.

Our specialization focuses on three industrial sectors:

Metallurgy | Plastics Processing | Automotive – Tier 1 & Tier 2

Our approach is based on a simple conviction: strategic recruitment cannot be successful without understanding the environment in which the future leader will need to thrive.

With over 30 years of operational experience in industry, Dominique Remy brings a concrete understanding of the challenges of leadership, industrial performance, transformation, and management.

This hands-on expertise is combined with the international search capabilities of the Antal network, enabling us to identify talent in France, Europe, and internationally.
