PTC Nestle Waters

“The Nestle Waters Product Technology Centre (PTC), located in Vittel, is in charge of Research & Development for all Nestle Waters markets and brands around the world. This international mission requires an international and mobile staff. Usually, researchers are working on 4 or 5 year long projects in the PTC in relation with the markets and work then on a new mission for a specific market or in another R&D project of Nestle.

The PTC has been supporting Lorraine Internationale for years now and is regularly calling in the services of the association. In most cases, Lorraine Internationale is helping our foreign employees relocated to the PTC to complete their settlement formalities. For instance, they can provide them with general information about the region, they help them with home searches, nursery or children schooling, and assist them in completing administrative formalities such as insurances, taxes, car importation… Lorraine Internationale aims at helping relocated people in order to give its support in all these procedures.

When hiring new employees, we put them in contact with Lorraine Internationale. That is of a great help to those who are hesitating whether to relocate in Lorraine.

Our staff members are satisfied with the services of Lorraine Internationale and always resort to the association until they leave.”

" [...] We are mainly working with Lorraine Internationale in framework of home searches [...] and settlement of our employees coming from non-Schengen countries.
Assisting people coming from non-Schengen countries means more than home searching. Indeed, Lorraine Internationale offers help and useful support for administrative formalities such as residence permit, [...] housing formalities, driving licence [...].

This is convenient for ArcelorMittal and its staff, which can rely on an organization that assists the employees and their families, and that is reassuring when settling for the very first time in France (giving employees its support for the various institutions [...])."

Sky Aircraft Groupe GECI International

“When I came to Lorraine in order to work for Sky Aircraft, I did not have any contact or any way to find an accommodation quickly. Therefore, I have been put in touch with Lorraine Internationale that helped me a lot while looking for an accommodation and completing administrative formalities. I will just recall the reactivity and dynamism of the team to meet efficiently and quickly my needs. The procedures, visits and settlement agreement were all done within a week. So, thanks a lot to Lorraine Internationale!“
