Jérôme Bataille appointed Chairman of the UNM
Jérôme Bataille, one of the managers of Poclain Hydraulics along with his two brothers, and an administrator appointed by the FIM (the French federation of mechanical industries) to represent the companies from the industrial mechanical sector, was appointed President of the UNM (the French association for standardisation in the mechanical industry), on 24 March 2015. Jérôme Bataille is the representative to the Artema professional unions, a member of the FIM and Cetop (the European oil hydraulic and pneumatic committee). He sits on the boards of directors of Réseau Entreprendre en Picardie, which he founded in 2001, Proméo (a sandwich training organisation) and FBN France (Family Business Network), which promotes family-owned companies. Jerôme Bataille replaces Jean-Louis Rabourdin who decided to resign from his duties at the end of his fourth term of office. Jean-Louis Rabourdin was appointed President of the UNM in 1998 and he supported the actions initiated by Philippe Contet, the General Manager of the UNM who he recruited in 2000. These actions were aimed at developing the financial independence of the association through the implementation of the contractualisation of standardisation work and at structuring the organisation of the association through a quality action with ISO 9001 certification obtained in 2003. During the meeting of the executive committee of the UNM on 24 March, in the course of the presentation of the latest standardisation report, Jean-Louis Rabourdin expressed his satisfaction concerning the fact that the UNM is now recognised by the public authorities. The representatives of the executive committee unanimously appointed him as Honorary Chairman.
