We are proud to announce that HORIBA JOBIN YVON SAS has been awarded the "Champion Caché" national prize in the R&D category. This prestigious award is organized by the "Industrie Services Info" group (editor of the main French monthly industrial magazine "L'Usine Nouvelle"), it recognizes companies with strong technical and commercial positions but little media visibility (hence the "Hidden Champion" title). The world leadership position of Jobin Yvon in Diffraction Gratings and its long term cooperation with leading research institutions worldwide were cited as reasons for the award.

The prize was presented on June 9th during a ceremony at the Senate Palace in the presence of Senator Paul DUBRULLE, founder of the ACCOR Group.

It is a tribute to the efforts of the JY team and an encouragement to press forward.
