Lannion/France – RECOM, Europe’s largest solar manufacturer, reinforces commitment to the growing French market by increasing manufacturing capacities and investments. Hamlet Tunyan, founder and CEO of RECOM, says: “We’re happy to contribute to France’s goal to become Europe’s leader in solar power. “France is supporting solar deployment, manufacturing, and R&D in an exemplary way. The combination of ambitious targets and strict requirements on sustainability and technology are all strong motivators for us to invest in the country “.
RECOM already has substantial presence in France.

Additionally, RECOM has now decided to move its headquarters to Lannion, France.
