It works in partnership with fluid engineering departments and installers (civil engineers, plumbers, electricians). It also provides installation consultancy.
In 2000, VIM joined the international group, Soler & Palau, S&P, one of the European leaders in ventilation for domestic, commercial and industrial buildings. S&P is located in 50 countries. VIM has 150 employees in France with about one hundred in its factory in Saint-Maixent-l'École in the department of Deux-Sèvres. The remainder of the workforce is employed in sales in various regions in France.
