So far, Xavier Gagey was in charge for the Group’s Glass Division. He is taking over from Tristan Farabet, who is heading towards personal projects after having dedicated himself since 2014 to the modernisation of the Group’s organization and its competitiveness.
A graduate of the French National Electricity University (SUPELEC) and with an MBA from EDHEC, Xavier joined the Pochet group and its Executive Committee in 2018, as General Manager of the Glass Division, backed by a long and rich experience within the Arcelor-Mittal/APERAM Group, both in France and internationally.

Irène Gosset, Chairman and shareholder of the Groupe Pochet has warmly thanked Tristan Farabet “for his decisive action in the service of the Group over the past seven years and for the significant progress made. This positive momentum now enables us to look to the future with confidence and to open a new page in the Group’s history.”
