In 2026, MU France is celebrating 45 Years of team-based impact and collective success.
During this time, we have been privileged to partner with thousands of SMEs and large corporations, tackling their most strategic challenges in recruitment and leadership.
Our story began 45 years ago, when Håkan Skoglund arrived from Sweden, fueled by a sharp vision and a commitment to build a dedicated and diverse team in France. Since then, we have established a formidable reputation among our clients and have consistently delivered exceptional results, supporting our dear clients in getting better results.
We are proud to share an interview with Sergio Lanzani, Managing Director, and Martine Wald, Human Resources Manager, at Wacker Chimie France, detailing more about our partnership:
"For over 10 years, we have entrusted MU with the recruitment of our National Sales Managers and Key Account Managers. This collaboration began with a meeting and the feeling of sharing common values. By closely engaging with our company, MU has been able to capture our culture to propose candidates aligned with our values, our ways of working, and our management styles. This is one of the reasons why the individuals recommended to us by MU tend to stay long-term at Wacker Chimie, as they feel comfortable here, and we see that reflected. For a small to medium-sized enterprise like ours, poor recruitment can have a significant impact on the atmosphere and motivation of the team. However, MU has the ability to understand the identity and values of the company and the candidates, ensuring that the chemistry works.
The candidate evaluation conducted by MU allows us to go beyond our perceptions and objectify our decisions, but it also serves as a real onboarding tool to facilitate, accelerate, and secure the integration of the employee. The follow-up integration by the MU Consultant is also true added value for us, as it helps to streamline communication, avoid "unspoken" issues, and better support our employees during this critical period.
MU is a trusted partner that challenges and advises us; it is a guarantee of efficiency in our recruitment processes, reliability in our selection decisions, and a true support in the integration and development of our employees."
These statements were gathered from Sergio Lanzani, Managing Director of Wacker Chimie, and Martine Wald, Human Resources Manager, to whom we extend our sincere thanks.
