Many thanks Irène for 22 great years

After 22 years of great collaboration, it is not easy to let Irène Geissmann retire.

With your heart and dedication, you helped to shape Monopol and make it internationally successful. You have always supported us with your precision, meticulousness and absolute reliability, enriching every day with your positive charisma.

We look back on countless moments in which you ensured smooth processes with your commitment and tireless dedication. Your knowledge, your humour and your ability to keep calm even in the most stressful times have made our team strong and made every day a little brighter.

It will not be easy to do without you. But we are happy for you and the new adventures that lie ahead. We know that you will excel in everything you do and wish you all the best for your future. May every step you take be crowned with joy, health and happiness.

Thank you for everything, dear Irène. We will miss you, but we are grateful for the years we spent together and the many wonderful memories we were able to share with you.

Your Monopol Colors team
