Today, we can provide them with a work environment at a very high level of safety: via telework or via drastic hygiene measures and monitored by hierarchical managers.

We wanted to discover how the window professionals react during this troubled period and for that we questioned a few in order to obtain their reactions.We have of course chosen transformers and installers in order to have a global view of the profession.The answers are diverse, each having found their solution to this unprecedented situation.Some did not wish to answer.

Émilie Potier, présidente de la société Emaver miroiterie Martin à la Garde dans le Var. L’entreprise est particulièrement polyvalente dans la transformation : façonnage, vitrage isolant, trempe et feuilleté EVA. Elle comprend 40 collaborateurs et a réalisé un chiffre d’affaires de 5,5 millions d’euros en 2019. Elle ne fait pas d’installation et ses clients sont des professionnels.Comment s’est passé le confinement ?Nous n’avons pas complétement arrêté. Notre devise étant le service client, nous avons conservé, sur la base du volontariat, 1/3 de l’effectif en production. J’ai tout de suite expliqué les mesures à prendre dans le travail quotidien où chacun peut infecter l’autre, mis en place des procédures, affichés les « bonnes pratiques des gestes barrières » et remis à chaque collaborateur une note interne des mesures générales à prendre face au COVID 19. Par exemple au réfectoire il n’y a plus qu’une personne par table, des masques ont été mis à disposition, du gel hydro-alcoolique etc…En outre les horaires sont décalés et on ne travaille que quelques jours dans la semaine.La surface de nos ateliers étant d’environ 4 000 m², à moins de 10 personnes il n’y a pas de problème de promiscuité et la distanciation sociale peut être respectée.

What was the impact on the work of operators? Our production machines are "bulky" and the workstations well identified and individual. In our profession we also carry security gloves. There is therefore no radical transformation in the way of working, except the need for everyone to respect social distancing and regularly clean their hands. Social distancing can therefore be observed without problem. But for the transmission of information, delicate point, I recommended to use the mail as much as possible which avoids the normal reaction to get closer to the other to speak to him. As for the drivers, they have been given masks and hydro alcoholic frost. The fact remains that the concern of the operators is there, in terms of risk, but above all the future, which feels in productivity. Teleworking is very inexpensive in our profession, except on an administrative position, most of the workforce being production positions.

Where are you financially? All our customers having de facto closed on March 17, following the president’s press release, our turnover brutally dropped in March 48 %. The months of April and May therefore promise to be catastrophic due to the lack of activity and orders. But in addition to this drop in activity which us, the reaction of credit insurance companies which degrade the covers of our customers which will cause a greater financial risk. Faced with this situation, we therefore had to react and now ask for installments to uninsured customers to limit the risk of unpaid. We have also shifted payment of contributions, but did not ask for help from the BPI Instant, our treasury currently allowing us to pay our loans and suppliers. We nevertheless hope to quickly receive reimbursement by the state of wages for partial unemployment employees, because our company having less than 50 people we do not have any Special help, we have no additional help.

What were the reactions of the employees? From the start we made numerous meetings with the teams and the members of the CSE, respecting social distancing.Then I met the teams on several occasions in a separate manner.I wanted to communicate a lot because people were very worried about the future and government information changed almost every day.It was difficult to plan the next day, we were advancing according to the news.The question that was constantly coming back was "What will the business become?"In addition there are wage losses. I had prepared myself psychologically and I still didn't think it would last so long.It is difficult not to know and especially not to be able to reassure the people who count on you.The loss of social ties is difficult to live, if only to transmit or request information.

How do you consider the resumption of activity? We are starting to feel tremors, everything has been moving for a week and it will resume very slowly. We put ourselves in working order for the most complete recovery as possible from theMay 11, with complementary constraints such as wearing the compulsory mask, ground tracing for the safety of our office staff and our customers, etc. It is difficult to explain to employees that we have no visibility, we discussMuch with the teams and I only envisage a return to normal activity until September.They see demand has decreased and it worries them. Our staff want to rework and we all want to get out of it.

What assessment can you draw from this experience? It has caused a significant reduction in human contacts. On the other hand there are also positive sides, in the world of continual emergency where we live, some are starting to listen to us andTo understand that we cannot do everything right away.There are no longer any direct contacts but I have the impression that there is more listening, understanding and benevolence towards each other.Our hierarchy of priorities has completely changed. In other words it allowed us to take a step back on the life of the company and to carry out actions that we wanted to implement and for which we lacked time.Experience that shows that we must constantly adapt, that we must know how to react and that nothing is ever acquired! And now we will have to learn to work differently because the health rules will continue.

Laurent Personnaz, manager of Chartreuse in Voiron in Isère.The company is a transformer and therefore performs the cut, the shaping, performs tempered and leafed glass and also achieves decoration by screen printing and digital printing. The business closed on Friday March 13 following the government injunction.Its reopening was carried out on Monday, March 23 gradually and with around 70 % of the 46 people in the usual workforce.She has great difficulties because she risks getting into technical unemployment again at the end of week 16 because she came entirely of her capacity.

What were the protective measures of the adopted personnel? We did with the means at hand and using the D system for masks, handcrafted, DIY visors and by eliminating the common changing rooms.It should be noted that the famous barriers are extremely difficult to enforce in a manufacturing plant.The operators must be constantly monitored because these gestures provide significant discomfort in the work which is added to that which is already provided by PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).

What are the consequences for your business? We have delivered furniture for manufacturers and then we no longer have a site.Our team of installers has been arrested and the sites for individuals are completed.We have carried out the inventory of all our orders and ¾ of our customers are closed.

The company Personnaz Entreprise, managed by Anne Personnaz (sister of Laurent), whose activity in aluminum carpentry has also temporarily stopped its activity and the 5 employees are unemployed.She has just had an order cancellation from an industrialist who will only settle the equipment and the way because there will be no installation.

How do you see the future? Difficult because credit insurance companies degrade their customer coverage which will slow the activity.They only want to take risks on reliable customers and we will have to request installments to order customers who will have difficulty paying them.

And how do the banks react? We are lucky to have a very good cash and we will not need to request a loan guaranteed by the State, if only to settle wages.Our banks have agreed to postpone matches of 6 months for the payment of the new factory that we have just finished in Colombe, Isère.(See VP Mag n ° 112 of September 2019).

What is the evolution of the market in glass? We have already been competition for several years competition from Italian and Spanish producers and moreover the Turkish market has just collapsed and therefore Turkish companies arrive on the market with prices so low that'You can't line up.

And at more distant maturity we reduce the arrival of China which will have no moods.

Philippe Bianco-Levrin, Miroiterie Alti in Paris, Seine. Company for the installation of glass products of a dozen employees. The business remained in operation. I assessed as soon as the announcement of health, economic and my responsibility as a business manager as a company. Endorsement to the single risk assessment document of the company taking into account the particular situation and adapting the precautions therefore the barriers to limit the risks of contamination. Then a letter to the 10 staff members asking them if they agreed to work under these conditions: 4 said yes and 6 said no.Dès the next day I set up the arrival times to prevent the workers cross. I finally paid a premium to those who agreed to work by applying precautionary measures. I could find washable fabric masks and I gave instructions for hand washing. I made the premises disinfect and provided wipes to clean the steering wheel of trucks. These measures are in fact logical and common sense actions. In the company we do not have a case of COVID19.

What were the repercussions on the activity? We carried out all the possible operations while respecting the barriers.We worked with customers who agreed to respect social distancing and each time a risk was identified the workers (s) stop the work. If the intervention concerns a window that it is possible to win it.And we carry out work in the workshop. I took advantage of this “free” time to do storage and quotes, then prepare construction sites to start. I could also buy plastic screens of protections forStores remaining open. In March the turnover was normal and it decreased by around 50 % in April and May, I therefore submitted a loan file guaranteed by the government.

Do you have delivery problems? No, I worked with a provincial transformer who delivered me once a week by grouping deliveries when in ordinary time it was several times a week

How do you see the post-confidence? I was able to take a step back, which is always difficult when you are constantly nose on the handlebars and build forecasts for the future.I try to find the positive in any situation, to adapt by taking the necessary measures and to move forward. I have three cases which came out of which the quotes were carried out either before confinement.I also made a quote for a chain of restaurants who want to open quickly as soon as the deconfination allows him.I also have well -organized projects where planning allows you to work without risk of promiscuity with other trades.

How does it go financially? Regarding the regulations by the government of partial unemployment I have not yet touched anything in mid-April for the month of March.Fortunately, I have correct cash and I was able to pay the suppliers for January and February there are also fixed charges such as the rent of the offices.

How do you see the future? I am both confident and suspicious.Confident for activity with large files in progress and wary for relations between companies, especially those with which I work in subcontracting.I do not advance without deposit and I lock on the legal level in advance.

Tony Binard accumulates two complementary activities, first Normanver Glass in Rouen, transformer making insulating glazing, tempered glass and puff pastry of around forty employees to which the Cauchoise closure in Yvetot is added in Seine Maritime,A dozen people, who mainly performs in individuals.

How was confinement? I made the decision to stop on March 17 because we could not ensure the safety of our employees, in fact we had since September a sufficient stock of hydro-alcoholic gel, on the other handA terrible lack of masks.The establishment of protocols has proven to be difficult to apply in an emergency. Finally our customers closed one after the other. I also stopped the Cauchoise mirror because it was impossible to work safe.

What were your reactions? I was first stunned and sad to have to stop so brutally.I only came to the business in the morning to take stock with the accountant.Then I chatted with other people, business leaders or friends and reacted.Of course the fear of contamination was there and in spite of her I adopted the state of mind of a fighter, I decided, after a fortnight, to think about a partial recovery while respecting the protocols and theprotections to be implemented.

Since then, you have resumed?Yes Tuesday, April 14 partially and on the basis of volunteer.50% of employees accepted.They were happy with the idea of resuming.In addition, they were truly a force of proposals.

Qu’avez-vous modifié dans vos méthodes de travail ?Pratiquement tout et il a fallu penser à tous les détails de la vie au quotidien. Nous avons tenu de nombreuses réunions par téléphone pour la mise en œuvre de ces détails de l’activité au quotidien. Les salariés ont été d’accord pour qu’il y ait une prise de température quotidienne par exemple. L’impossibilité d’avoir une cantine commune nous interdisait de faire des journées de plus de 6 heures d’affilée.Nous avons démarré avec une production de 30 % du chiffre d’affaires d’avant. Le travail dans les bureaux s’effectue par roulement avec 2 équipes de 4 heures et 4 h de télé travail l’après-midi.Nous avons la chance d’avoir plus de 4 000 m² d’atelier, donc nous pouvons travailler à 5 ou 6 personnes en horaires décalés tout en respectant les règles de distanciation sociale.Il est interdit d’aller en salle de pose pour discuter.Nous avons distribué des lingettes partout et chaque poste de travail est nettoyé à tous les changements de poste.

What are the consequences on relationships with your customers? Customers are starting to resume, around 50 % at the end of April.It is therefore necessary to develop their priorities with them.We manage emergencies.We will therefore have a lot of work to find orders.

What was the impact on the activity? We have lost a month of turnover.And we recorded few orders. As regards the installation a team resumed in Yvetot, equipped with masks and frost.The problem comes from some customers who absolutely do not want to see people from outside enter them.

Overall, what should you have set up? We applied to the letter the OPPBTP guide for building sites and you absolutely have to think about everything.We also produced a questionnaire for individuals who accepted that we are working at home. Our chartered accountant also helped us a lot, as well as the occupational health service (AMSN). We have developed a PCA (plancontinuity of activity), designed and implemented posters to explain the least gestures to employees.This is actually an update of the single risk assessment document.In addition, each employee must read and sign a recovery certificate to learn about the protocols and barriers, developed with the CSE (social and economic committee). Also in Normanver Glass only in the Cauchoise closure mirrorie there is noHaving a problem of non-compliance with barriers, everyone understood their interest.

How do you see the future after this unprecedented experience? In general everything will change, the way of buying, consuming. In our way of working we are starting to see things differently, some loss of time will disappear, we willSave time by working better.We will generalize meetings by phone or videoconference because we realized that it works very well and it saves time and money by limiting travel.We will computerize customer reminders on current orders.

Do you find a positive aspect for this experience? Yes, after a first reaction where I was literally struck, we managed to bounce back and we all come out together and different.

Didier Coindoz, Société Trempver à Courson les Carrières in the Yonne.Transformer performing caliber, puff pastry, lacquered glass and screen printing.48 people, usual turnover 7.2 million euros.

How was confinement? A cessation of brutal and almost total activity, almost all customers who have closed.I am 20 % of orders compared to what I was doing at this time of the year.Usually I expected 3 to 4 trucks per week, now it's going down to one that is not full.My turnover which was around € 45,000 per day fell to € 5,000.

What will be the consequences for the company? The recovery will be very complicated, the day scheduled by the president for the deconfination, that is to say on May 11 I will have nothing to do and the turnover will returnonly very slowly.I do not think I can get my head out of the water until the surroundings of next December to next January. The problem in France is the number of administrative strata that slows down everything, even for example to buy blouses to work.

Have you had glass supply problems? No, on the one hand because I am a partner of Saint Gobain and on the other hand because I have been stopped since March 18 and that I had enoughstock

How do you see the future? Customers are slowly starting to resume, it will nevertheless be harder and harder.Because I have a good record.I'm worried about the future, it will resume on May 11 and then we're going to fall back in public holidays.My expenses arrive every day and I have to assure them and I also pay the suppliers. My activity is very close to the customers of individuals and I fear a lot that the latter invest less.normal.
